Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cyril Makarenko (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. 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.
