Co-main event

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samoa Rome (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Tanner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rome's entrance music is Samoan Death. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tanner's choice of entrance music: Cleveland Rocks. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
