Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Liam McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bishop kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 999 - Homicide. 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?
