Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Akhmad ShugaR (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Erwin Korba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). ShugaR kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dagestan. 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?
