Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sigmund Bjorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kurt Karlsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bjorn comes to the cage accompanied by Slipknot - Wait And Bleed. The crowd seem to be enjoying Karlsson's choice of entrance music: Surfin´ bird. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
