Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joosep L�hmus (ranked 11 p4p, 33 weight class) and Dwayne Haskins (ranked 2 p4p, 6 weight class). L�hmus's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
