Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Loratcho Bradock (ranked 144 p4p, 308 weight class) and Ovidio Kiran (ranked 22 p4p, 46 weight class). Bradock kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BRUNO MARTINI - LIVING ON THE OUTSIDE . Kiran comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Katmandu kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Wally Kruschev (ranked 143 p4p, 115 weight class) and Jacques Turcotte (ranked 22 p4p, 17 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kruschev might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pissed Off and Mad About it (Texas Hippie Coalition). Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
