Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Takehiko Takaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Takaki's choice of entrance music: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Meeting Of The Spirits. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
