Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mason Brooks (ranked 5066 p4p, 7333 weight class) and Rafael Vasconcelos (ranked 554 p4p, 652 weight class). Brooks kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Breath Into Me. 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.
