Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stefan Struve (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Uster Best (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Struve might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Celldweller - Switchback . Uster Best has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
