Co-main event

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cathal Doherty (ranked 183 p4p, 178 weight class) and Joe Exotic (ranked 23 p4p, 22 weight class). Doherty's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jeremy- Pearl Jam. Exotic has chosen Joe Exotic - I Saw a Tiger 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?
