Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Umaga Beeturasa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glen Rosalando (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beeturasa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallicas Sanatarium, coming home. 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.
