Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diego Bustamante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Obelix De Gaul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bustamante might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Here Comes The Boom!. De Gaul has chosen Asterix and Obelix as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
