Benjamin Adegbuyi: GLORY 22 title fight against Rico Verhoeven a 'dream come true'

"Mr. Gentleman" spoke to MMAmania.com about his Transylvania origins and making his Spike TV debut against Rico Verhoeven for the GLORY heavyweight title at GLORY 22.

Transylvania has long been known for the legend of Count Dracula and the historic Bran Castle, which is still one of Romania's biggest tourist attractions. However, some people aren't aware it is, in fact, an actual city, not just a mythological destination in horror and monster movies.

The city known as "The Land Beyond the Forest" has also yielded the No. 2-ranked GLORY heavyweight, Benjamin Adegbuyi, who will face Rico Verhoeven at GLORY 22 on Friday (June 5, 2015) in Lille, France (results and play-by-play here).
