Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lee Sin (ranked 336 p4p, 50 weight class) and Jason Tanner (ranked 641 p4p, 90 weight class). Sin comes into the arena with Original Nuttah blaring out of the sound system. Tanner has chosen Sandy Davidson - The Green Hills of Tyrol 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?
