Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chris Van De Kamp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Redban (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van De Kamp's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sister Sin - Fight Song. Redban has chosen M83 - Midnight City as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
