Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mario Bates (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Smolder Stoner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bates comes into the arena with Slayer - Raining Blood blaring out of the sound system. Stoner has chosen Blister in the Sun-violent femmes as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
