Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Jamison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ah Puch Nacon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jamison's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bangarang. Nacon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Death. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
