Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Artem Lapshinov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flatline Tom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lapshinov's entrance music is Moonlight Sonata. A fine choice. Tom has chosen blood blood blood blood 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?
