Rap superstar Nelly had fans enthralled early this morning at Jet in The Mirage. He wowed the audience with a performance that had them whooping, hollering and applauding in a standing ovation that would not stop.

Fighters Chuck Liddell and Antonio Tarver, who were in the crowd, declared it a knockout performance. Nelly unexpectedly brought along his brother City Spud, who sang along with him as an extra treat, and Jade Cole from America’s Next Top Model Cycle 6 dazzled, as well.

Leading lens lady Denise Truscello was on duty to capture all the excitement of the late-night and early morning concert.

On a side note, Chuck yesterday said he wouldn’t resume fighting for the UFC until 2010, even though UFC President Dana White has said Chuck should retire.
