Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Meyer Lansky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hans Beijer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lansky might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Płomień 81 - Powiedz na osiedlu. The crowd seem to be enjoying Beijer's choice of entrance music: David hasselhoff - Looking for freedome. 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.
