McSlugg has chosen mcslugg custom anthem.... as his entrance music. John Esposito has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bhang Bhang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomas Araya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bhang comes into the arena with SMC - RAFFII SUOMI FLÄTTII blaring out of the sound system. Araya is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Slayer - Angel of Death. 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?
