Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rampage Jockson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex De Paiva Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jockson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can't Be Touched. 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?
