Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stann Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Codi Gale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BLUNT- "The Iron Maiden". Gale is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gravity kills - Guilty. Stann Stone has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
