Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Kingston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gerald Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kingston might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Public Enemy - Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos. 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?
