Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arzlan Bathory (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Captain Beefheart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bathory's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Brain Scan. Bathory has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Captain Beefheart struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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?
