Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juho Pennanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ami Dent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dent has chosen DJ Madman - Meisje zo lelijk als de nacht 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.
