Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Stigu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Metz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stigu's entrance music is Sabrina, Boys. A fine choice. Metz has chosen Jivan G. 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?
