Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jussi Syren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buhawi Jack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Syren's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kung Fu Taistelee. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
