Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Doug Lake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Zion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lake comes to the cage accompanied by My life be like oo-ah. Zion has chosen Lars Frederiksen & The Bastards - 1% as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
