Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Chavo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edward Durden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chavo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rico Sauve by Girardo. Durden has chosen Monster as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
