Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Reggie Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Butch Knuckles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diggs kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lupe Fiasco - Words I Never Said. 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?
