Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tesco Vee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vee's entrance music is Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple man. A fine choice. Mercer has chosen Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young 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?
