Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Burns (ranked 5170 p4p, 5785 weight class) and Remy Bon (ranked 505 p4p, 537 weight class). Jason Burns had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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?
