Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Unkind Artist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pena Hirmu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Artist kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dropkick Murphys - Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya. Hirmu has chosen AC/DC - War Machine as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
