Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Donavon (ranked 648 p4p, 92 weight class) and Josh Wade (ranked 2194 p4p, 303 weight class). Wade is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 2Pac - Hail Mary. 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?
