Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Art Vandelay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dante Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vandelay comes to the cage accompanied by Street Fighting Man by The Rolling Stones. Jones has chosen Runaway 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Barker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Balboa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Remember The Name By Fort Minor. Balboa comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Punch Drunk kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Michael Balboa has the eye of the tiger tonight.
