Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rickson Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glen Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie comes to the cage accompanied by Brazilian national anthem by Ill Nino. Jacobs has chosen Hell 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?
