Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Orpo Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phan Tran Le (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jokinen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Are You Dead Yet? by Children of Bodom. Le has chosen Dukes of Hazard Theme Song - Waylon Jennings as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
