Promising up-and-coming light heavyweight talents Andre Gusmao (5-0) and Tomasz Drwal (14-2) are set to clash at UFC 87: “Seek and Destroy” at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn., on August 9.

Gusmao is an undefeated fighter who most recently competed in the International Fight League (IFL). In fact, his first round knockout win (knee) of Mike Ciesnolevicz sealed the victory for the Renzo Gracie-led New York Pitbulls at the 2007 Team Championship Final in September.

He was supposed to make his Octagon debut at UFC 81: “Breaking Point” against David Heath; however, contractual obligations with the IFL prevented him from competing in the 205-pound bout. It appears that the red tape has now been lifted.

Drwal was actually inserted to replace Gusmao against Heath, but the Polish fighter sustained a knee injury during training and had to withdraw from the bout. “The Gorilla” dropped his Octagon debut to Thiago Silva at UFC 75: “Champion vs. Champion” via technical knockout in a spirited effort back in September 2006.

It’s good to see him return, as well as Gusmao finally in the fold — this is good fight between two rising young stars.

Quando meu filho nascer
Vou perguntar pra parteira
O que é que o meu filho vai ser
O meu filho vai ser capoeira
Capoeira capu

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Mas não é karate nem também kung fu

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Mas eu fui na Bahia comer carurú

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Vim comer caruru e não comer angú

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Eu dou uma armada, você sai no au

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Eu moro em Ipanema, você em Bangú

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Eu como galinha, você urubú

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Eu tomo café, você chupa umbú

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Ê, lá na festa do Bomfim
Na mudança pra Ribeira
Pois até o Saci Pererê
De uma perna só vai jogar capoeira
Capoeira capu

MACULELÊ MARACATU

Gusmao is now fighting Jon Jones, another newcomer to the UFC (he's new to the sport altogether), with a strong record:
http://mmamania.com/2008/07/28/andre-gusmao-vs-jon-jones-ufc-87-fight-booked-with-tomasz-drwal-injured/

For the second straight time, Tomasz Drwal has been forced to withdraw from an upcoming fight inside the Octagon because of an injury.

This time the “Polish Gorilla” — who dropped his debut with the promotion in a battle with Thiago Silva at UFC 75: “Champion vs. Champion” in September 2007 — will be unable to take on Andre Gusmao at UFC 87: “Seek and Destroy” on August 9.

No details of the injury were revealed; however, he has had previous problems with his knee.

UFC newcomer Jon Jones (6-0) was today announced as his official replacement for the 205-pound tilt. He’s a relatively new to the sport; however, that hasn’t stopped him from rattling of six straight wins — all in 2008.

Jones has been a busy man indeed. But he’ll have his hands full in Minnesota.

Gusmao is an undefeated fighter who most recently competed in the International Fight League (IFL). In fact, his first round knockout win (knee) of Mike Ciesnolevicz sealed the victory for the Renzo Gracie-led New York Pitbulls at the 2007 Team Championship Final in September.

He was supposed to make his Octagon debut at UFC 81: “Breaking Point” against David Heath; however, contractual obligations with the IFL prevented him from competing in the 205-pound bout. It appears that the red tape has now been lifted.

UFC 87 takes place from at the Target Center from Minneapolis, Minn., on Saturday, August 9
