Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Attila Hun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Shaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hun might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World. Shaw has chosen Family Force 5 - Chainsaw 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?
