Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vladimir Impaler (ranked 166 p4p, 26 weight class) and Steve Butabi (ranked 456 p4p, 65 weight class). Butabi has chosen I'm so bad (baby I don't care) as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Brent (ranked 162 p4p, 24 weight class) and Captain Gonza (ranked 266 p4p, 39 weight class). Gonza has chosen Mononoke Hime as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Captain Gonza was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
