Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jolly Giant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cole Jamison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Giant comes into the arena with Final Hour blaring out of the sound system. Jamison has chosen My Last Serenade by Killswitch Engage as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
