Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Walter Sullivan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Apollo Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sullivan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Akira Yamaoka - Room of Angel. Jackson has chosen LIVING IN AMERICA BY JAMES BROWN as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Apollo Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
