Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Aurelius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albert Einstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aurelius's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Requiem For A Dream . The crowd seem to be enjoying Einstein's choice of entrance music: Angra - Mystery Machine. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
