Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Samba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big Hardon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samba kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bezerker by Love Among Freaks. Hardon has chosen Ameno as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Big Hardon told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
