Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Madison Grant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Placentino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grant's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, donald wheres your troosers. Placentino has chosen donGURALesko - Mogliśmy wszystko as his entrance music. 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?
