Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Frank Dux (ranked 835 p4p, 1163 weight class) and Lars Kay (ranked 65 p4p, 90 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dux might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bloodsport. 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?
