Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Emeka Shakur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arnie Ironz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shakur's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tatanka - Africa. Ironz has chosen Limp Bizkit - Gold Cobra as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
