Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cerberus Dionisy (ranked 291 p4p, 270 weight class) and Blake Phoenix (ranked 45 p4p, 42 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dionisy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Voodoo. 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?
