Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Brody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chief Tappenahomma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tappenahomma has chosen Tatanka as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
