Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between bilbo baggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Kowalski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kowalski has chosen Six Feet Deep by Six Ft Ditch as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Frank Kowalski struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
