Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Lansing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andres Machete (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lansing kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Heavy Metal Kings. Machete is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sandstorm - Darude. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
