Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Haislan Garcia (ranked 732 p4p, 90 weight class) and Eksem Von Ketler (ranked 1449 p4p, 161 weight class). Von Ketler has chosen Bonecracker- Shocore 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.
