Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Vee (ranked 79 p4p, 6 weight class) and Gauthier Delsarte (ranked 73 p4p, 4 weight class). Vee comes to the cage accompanied by Da Mystery of Chessboxin by Wu-Tang Clan. The crowd seem to be enjoying Delsarte's choice of entrance music: Ah Non Cest Terrible. 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.
