Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dong Uk (ranked 362 p4p, 48 weight class) and Atanase Teodor (ranked 738 p4p, 90 weight class). Uk kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bonobo - Prelude & Kiara. Teodor has chosen Pots and pans banging 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?
