Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Carlotos Spiteri (ranked 23054 p4p, 21115 weight class) and Riley Knox (ranked 715 p4p, 703 weight class). Spiteri kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Day to day basis. Knox is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Roy Jones Jr - I Smoke, I Drink feat. Mr. Magic & Youngbloodz). There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
