Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between James Harbor (ranked 3092 p4p, 382 weight class) and Pertti Silsa (ranked 4766 p4p, 525 weight class). Silsa has chosen Candy by Robbie Williams 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Keiji Mutou (ranked 202 p4p, 27 weight class) and Stan Judea (ranked 285 p4p, 39 weight class).
