Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Richard Dawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Eberhart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dawkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Prong - Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck . Eberhart has chosen South Side as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
