Main event

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arturo Caldeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DJ Stenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Caldeira's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, billionaire. Stenner has chosen Escapado - Solange Du Weisst as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that DJ Stenner was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
