Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Tsehov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shina Aoyki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tsehov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ivan Rebroff - Cossack Patrol. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
