Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Methodios McIntyre (ranked 10 p4p, 87 weight class) and Wojak Warsz (ranked 2 p4p, 13 weight class). McIntyre comes to the cage accompanied by Gallantry. Warsz comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Xanadu by Ummet Ozcan kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
