Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marion Cobretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Habanero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cobretti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Frank Sinatra - Fly me to the moon. Habanero has chosen NERD - Rockstar 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.
