Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Yeehaw McKickAss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adaru Kitano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McKickAss comes into the arena with Hallowed be thy name blaring out of the sound system. Kitano has chosen Arch Enemy - We Will Rise as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
