Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stefanus Struvious (ranked 6080 p4p, 4412 weight class) and Mark Cormier (ranked 664 p4p, 540 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Struvious might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Am Stronger. Mark Cormier has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
