Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Malcolm Rivera (ranked 498 p4p, 1291 weight class) and Tony Stark (ranked 78 p4p, 196 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rivera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to BAD COMPANY. 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?
