Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Felix Fishpockets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randall Swain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fishpockets's entrance music is I don't know how to love him. A fine choice. Swain has chosen Lunatic Fringe 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?
