Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joy Rones (ranked 9 p4p, 93 weight class) and Lee Sin (ranked 2 p4p, 15 weight class). Rones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Side to Side. Sin has chosen Original Nuttah 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?
