Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lincoln Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sol Goode (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pulse of the Maggots. Goode has chosen Merry Fuckin' Christmas as his entrance music. 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.
