Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Bourdeau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Koya Chekutimi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bourdeau's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eminem-Won't back down. Chekutimi has chosen Jay Z - Run This Town as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
