Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sione Finau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xtreme Mma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Finau might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Ninja Gaiden" by The Minibosses. Mma has chosen I Wont Back Down as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
