Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Escobar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to KoRn En Vivo Mtv. Shamrock has chosen Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
