Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carlo Pedersoli (ranked 23 p4p, 299 weight class) and Lucretinaus Olcinius (ranked 2 p4p, 21 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Olcinius's choice of entrance music: Test My Love (Skeler Remix) - Lithe. 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?
