Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Wallace (ranked 601 p4p, 724 weight class) and Shin Shin Crayola (ranked 76 p4p, 91 weight class). Crayola has chosen Chika Dance as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
