Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Robbie Balboa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Balboa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Burning Heart. Harris has chosen Kanye West - Jesus Walks as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
