Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zack Dio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Genghis Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dio comes to the cage accompanied by Megadeth - Dialectic Chaos. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
