Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cub Galloway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Bowlsby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Galloway kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jump Around by House of Pain. Bowlsby is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fuck You Im Drunk. 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?
