Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wilhelm Strauss (ranked 907 p4p, 122 weight class) and Stadin Kingi (ranked 417 p4p, 69 weight class). Strauss's entrance music is Root Of All Evil. A fine choice. Kingi has chosen Kahvimaito 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?
