Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Cornish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Giljotin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cornish kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is For Whom The Bell Tolls (Instrumental) by Metallica. Giljotin has chosen Ticon - Miss 11 PM (DJ CHILLER REMIX 2011) 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?
