Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Valery Demyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Van Dam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Demyan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amazing Grace. The crowd seem to be enjoying Van Dam's choice of entrance music: C R E A M By The Wu-Tang Clan. 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.
