Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Koala Baertum (ranked 5363 p4p, 370 weight class) and Walter Flanagan (ranked 1990 p4p, 202 weight class). Baertum's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Welcome to the Jungle. Flanagan has chosen The Wizard 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?
