Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wade Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilson comes to the cage accompanied by Ave Maria. Brown has chosen Invincible by Machine Gun Kelly 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.
