Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Knoxville (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolan Tiongson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tiongson has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rolan Tiongson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
