Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Heinz Doofenshmirtz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bong Ki Duk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doofenshmirtz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Feuer Frei -by- Rammstein. Ki Duk has chosen north korea's national anthem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
