Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Carlton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mary had a little lamb. Carlton has chosen 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
