Co-main event

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Truman Roosevelt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roosevelt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gravel Pit by Wu Tang Clan. 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?
