Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hyatt Wayne (ranked 1564 p4p, 1276 weight class) and Rogan Grimes (ranked 220 p4p, 172 weight class). Wayne kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is SOAD - Aerials. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
