Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between William Henry Bonney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Nujoma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nujoma is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by King Fantastic - Why? Where? What?. 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?
