Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Russell Paulman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tsau Tsetsku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Paulman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to War is my Love . Tsetsku is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Paula Seling & Ovi - Miracle. 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?
