Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Wooten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Blok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wooten kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Fourth Night of My Drinking by The Drive-By Truckers. Blok has chosen Bangarang 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.
