Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Conor The Highlander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustavo Carvalho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Highlander's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Notorious Biggie Small. 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?
