Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cerberus Dionisy (ranked 263 p4p, 307 weight class) and Don Bronson (ranked 40 p4p, 48 weight class). Dionisy comes to the cage accompanied by Voodoo. Bronson has chosen Glass Candy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
