Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wampage Johnson (ranked 1930 p4p, 259 weight class) and Zhengtao Wei (ranked 3546 p4p, 422 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Come Over (feat. Stylo G). 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?
