Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Bautin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Royston De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bautin comes into the arena with Lobotomy by The Ramones blaring out of the sound system. De Noteboom is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rotting Christ - Snowing Still. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
