Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daley Bornstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kristian Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bornstein's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Men at Work - Land Down Under. Kelly is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Senses Fail - Bonecrusher. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
