Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Borg Cloud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Der Debil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cloud comes to the cage accompanied by Work. The crowd seem to be enjoying Debil's choice of entrance music: Bulimic. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
