Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ron Lemieux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrey Tutov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lemieux comes into the arena with Sliwa blaring out of the sound system. Tutov has chosen 7B - Young Winds as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
