Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pekka Kosonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mamoru Takamura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kosonen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Amon Amarth - Guardians Of Asgaard. Takamura has chosen Enter Sandman as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
