Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gopher Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hunter Popovitch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Popovitch has chosen Primitive Radio Gods - standing outside a broken phone booth 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?
