Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Spox Beard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josie Marquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beard's entrance music is Spock's Beard - The Great Nothing. A fine choice. Marquez has chosen the most annoying Mexican polka music you have heard in your life as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
