Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ser Bian Warc Riminal (ranked 398 p4p, 956 weight class) and Charlie River (ranked 41 p4p, 83 weight class). River has chosen Waylon Jennings - I've Always Been Crazy as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
