Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Keiichi Yamada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arvo Laar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Laar's choice of entrance music: some random 90's estonia dance song i found on youtube. 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?
