Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dallas Bond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eoin Andershannon O Darby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jake Jitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jitz comes to the cage accompanied by Sleepwalking by Blindside. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Chuck Liddell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
