Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mark Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keith Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brown might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Emanuel - The Hey Man. Green has chosen Supersonic - Jamiroquai 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?
