Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pierre LePew (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tuomas Keto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think LePew might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's Raining Men. 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?
