Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Corneo Stilztkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marco Marcolini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stilztkin comes into the arena with Dream Theater - Home blaring out of the sound system. Marcolini is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Raffaella Carra - Rumore. 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.
