Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Danny Duff (ranked 3703 p4p, 378 weight class) and Liam Jansen (ranked 22972 p4p, 554 weight class). Duff kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kendrick Lamar - Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe. 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?
