Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Honcho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oleg Vasiliev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Honcho kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Beastie Boys- Sabotage. The crowd seem to be enjoying Vasiliev's choice of entrance music: Hate me now. 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?
