Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Slyker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Bones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Slyker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's Amazing by Kanye West. Bones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fight Music D12. 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?
