Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shen Po (ranked 985 p4p, 964 weight class) and Penkosip Bizihwaile (ranked 139 p4p, 138 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Po might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ei-tetsu Hayashi & 木下伸市. 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?
