Co-main event

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gregor Mendel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carson Holliday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mendel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lambada. Holliday has chosen Andreas Johnson - Glorious 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?
