Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Winston Todd (ranked 76 p4p, 267 weight class) and Juanito Escobar (ranked 10 p4p, 33 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Todd might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Piano Man. 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?
