Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Don Juan Matus (ranked 956 p4p, 1109 weight class) and Ma Moru (ranked 114 p4p, 132 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Matus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crow Spirit. Moru has chosen Stand Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
