Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kai Sampson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Big Show (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sampson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare. Show has chosen The Pack -Bass as his entrance music. 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?
