Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Extor Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chad Carlson Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes comes to the cage accompanied by Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. The crowd seem to be enjoying Carlson Jr's choice of entrance music: Muse- Stockholm Syndrome. 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?
