Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miklo Velka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pope comes into the arena with For Whom The Bell Tolls blaring out of the sound system. Velka has chosen Cypress Hill - Insane In The Membrane 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?
