Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Malutin Andrey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artur Banas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Andrey might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gunther -Ding Dong Song . 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?
