Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vik Baeng (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Salcedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Baeng might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to UGK - Wood Wheel. Jose Salcedo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
