Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Goode (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gus Dengel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goode kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AC/DC - Hell's Bells . Dengel is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I Just Had Sex. 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.
