Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edzard Ling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Bighouse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ling's entrance music is Gemüseeintopf. A fine choice. Bighouse is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Isontalon Antti ja Rannanjärvi. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
