Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Mortis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary Indiana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mortis's entrance music is Crush 'em by Megadeth. A fine choice. Indiana has chosen Jay Z - 99 problems as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
