Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry William French (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone's entrance music is Metallica (Stone Cold Crazy). A fine choice. French has chosen Blaze of Glory as his entrance music. 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?
