Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Kortez (ranked 9408 p4p, 551 weight class) and Mark Tyme (ranked 3242 p4p, 308 weight class). Kortez 's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Thunderstruck. Tyme has chosen Here Comes The Money 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.
