Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Les Norton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Will Wilde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norton comes to the cage accompanied by Land downunder - Men at work. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wilde's choice of entrance music: Freak On A Leash . Will Wilde struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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?
