Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juberto Pieropan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yo Adrian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pieropan's entrance music is Titanium. A fine choice. Adrian is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
