Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hallendro Filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Gronholm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gronholm is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Eeppinen biisi. 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?
