Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adam Carolla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bronn Blackwater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Carolla might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gotta Get It On from Taboo 2. Blackwater has chosen For Whom the Bell Tolls as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
