Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jorma Poskiparta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lance Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poskiparta kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is XXL Feat. Peter Steiner - It's Cool Man. Carter has chosen Can't Be Touched as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
