Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Beck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Samba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beck might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sepultura - Roots Boody Roots. Samba is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bezerker by Love Among Freaks. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
