Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Gibson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terry Bull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gibson comes into the arena with Tech N9NE- Einstien blaring out of the sound system. Bull has chosen The Last Shadow Puppets "The Age Of The Understatement" as his entrance music. Daniel Gibson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
