Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Samson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Tatov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Venture Brothers Opening Theme. Tatov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Soundgarden- Superunknown. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
