Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rajja Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Marvin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khan comes to the cage accompanied by tubular bells. Marvin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. King of Kings by Motorhead kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
