Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Dale Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Takashi Sudo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Village People - Macho Man. Sudo has chosen Kaneda as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Takashi Sudo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
