Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lee Van Cleefe (ranked 1222 p4p, 2536 weight class) and Daniel Brand (ranked 138 p4p, 271 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Van Cleefe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Classics - The Master (1984) TV series. Daniel Brand will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
