Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Santiago Calirante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rex Tyler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calirante comes to the cage accompanied by Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tyler's choice of entrance music: Solonen ja Kosola - RÄPPII . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
