Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Samson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ralph McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samson's entrance music is The Venture Brothers Opening Theme. A fine choice. McGuire has chosen Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind as his entrance music. 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.
