Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Quaid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janne Wirman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quaid comes to the cage accompanied by Total Recall. Wirman has chosen Children of Bodom - Banned from heaven as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
