Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gideon Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sol Goode (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frost's entrance music is Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy. A fine choice. Goode is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Real Thing. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
