Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Joe Hollis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Cross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hollis comes to the cage accompanied by UGK - Pocket Full of Stones. Cross has chosen The American Dream Song as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that David Cross was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
