Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Do Who Tsoi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kay Ector (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tsoi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, !!!. Ector has chosen Monster! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
