Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jon Doe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Butch von Herrmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doe's entrance music is whatsername, and does she remember my name?. A fine choice. von Herrmann has chosen Rammstein - Buck Dich as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
