Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikhail Yudovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miladin Kovacevic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yudovich comes to the cage accompanied by Zetsubou Restaurant (ZSZS ED3 Ver.). Kovacevic has chosen Rocknrolla' as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
