Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brodie Fanning (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ceaser El Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fanning might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to m.o.v.e - Rage your dream. The crowd seem to be enjoying El Toro's choice of entrance music: Bulls On Parade. 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?
