Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Varg Veide (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jovon Chambers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Veide kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Taking Care of Business. Chambers has chosen Carmen Gray-Gates of Loneliness as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
