Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Stephen Hawking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kato Munechika (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawking's entrance music is Shady Lane. A fine choice. Munechika is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Requiem for a Dream. 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?
