Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Irwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carter's entrance music is La Roux - In For The Kill. A fine choice. Irwin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: AC/DC - T.N.T. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
