Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diarmuid Curry (ranked 15 p4p, 1 weight class) and Sunray Spike (ranked 77 p4p, 3 weight class). Curry comes to the cage accompanied by Epic Celtic Music. Spike is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: For Heavy Metal we will die!. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
