Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Westwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Torgrim Skalldursson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Westwood might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama. Skalldursson has chosen RAMONES "Beat on the brat" as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
