Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anatoliy Lapikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gennakin Golovdy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lapikov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AC/DC - Hells Bells . Golovdy is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by A New Beginning by Audiomachine. 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.
