Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yance Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foster kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Friggin In The Riggin. Sackett has chosen Boulevard of Broken Dreams 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.
