Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Turner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Black might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shine Bright like a Diamond. 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?
