Co-main event

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcel Thuram (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thuram kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dario G - Carneval de Paris. 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?
