Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sebastian Rynkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rynkowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mama Selita - 303. 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?
