Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Musky Chunder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Cesar Perbichi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chunder might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slam. Perbichi has chosen Bota pra correr 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?
