Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cu Chulainn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Hall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chulainn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Blood of Cu Chulainn. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
