Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Babinski (ranked 32 p4p, 105 weight class) and Crusty Bigg (ranked 6 p4p, 16 weight class). Bigg comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rocky Top kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
