Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between John Pinaglabanan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darth Vader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pinaglabanan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Flume - Some Minds (XVII Flip). Vader has chosen The Imperial March as his entrance music. 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?
