Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vega Hartgrave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dougie Flutie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hartgrave's entrance music is Shame by Drowning Pool. A fine choice. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
