Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marlo Stanfield (ranked 1175 p4p, 159 weight class) and Jack Patton (ranked 892 p4p, 124 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stanfield might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Legendary. The crowd seem to be enjoying Patton's choice of entrance music: Barasuara - Api dan Lentera. Jack Patton told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
