Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Hunecke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lester Only (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hunecke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Indestructible. Only has chosen Third World 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?
