Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonah Sumrall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Rodrigues (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sumrall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kutless - Smile.

I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
