Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Long Wang (ranked 1470 p4p, 195 weight class) and Jaquon Jones (ranked 2071 p4p, 256 weight class). Wang kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mr. Self Destruct. 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?
