Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jorge Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Grill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodriguez's entrance music is "Cowboy from hell" by pantera. A fine choice. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
