Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Larusso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matsui Takamatsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larusso's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Glory of love. Takamatsu has chosen Dogs of War 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?
