Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Boris Gregorovitsj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandon Hale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gregorovitsj's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pink Panther Theme. Hale has chosen Dead Sara - Weatherman as his entrance music. 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?
