Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dexter Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randall Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Morgan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Airplanes. The crowd seem to be enjoying Harris's choice of entrance music: Deep End. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
