Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ansgar Axelsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Yakovlev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Axelsson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to one bourbon one scotch one beer. The crowd seem to be enjoying Yakovlev's choice of entrance music: Maroon 5 - Sugar. 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?
