Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hekla Fengdu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kiima Paaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fengdu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get Naked. Paaki has chosen Metsäkukkia as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
