Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kendon Martindale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martindale comes to the cage accompanied by Who Am I. Stark has chosen Ludacris - Stick'em Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
