Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Stephane Ouelet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elias Virtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ouelet's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Chien Fou . The crowd seem to be enjoying Virtanen's choice of entrance music: Haittavaikutus - Matkalla. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
