Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dmitry Borschev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hans Beck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Beck's choice of entrance music: Sepultura - Roots Boody Roots. 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?
