Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eaton Cox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Choice Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cox might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hatebreed - Destroy Everything. Gracie has chosen MotherFu*ker of the Year - Motley Crue 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?
