Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alcaeus Theban (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitaly Vasyuk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Theban kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. 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?
