Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Dyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giril Kovalenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dyer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Viva La Vida. Kovalenko is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Judas Priest - Grinder. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
