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