Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Axel Wheeler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ansilva Derson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wheeler kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is If you want blood(You got it) by AC/DC. Derson has chosen For Whom The Bell Tolls as his entrance music. Axel Wheeler has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
