Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Deni Subasic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Slaven Donnech (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Subasic's entrance music is American Dream. A fine choice. Deni Subasic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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?
