Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonny De Jong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terminator Exterminator (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Jong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dropkick Murphy's - Shipping Up To Boston. 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?
