Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ernest Graves (ranked 87 p4p, 11 weight class) and Tud Stoddler (ranked 346 p4p, 40 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Stoddler's choice of entrance music: Arcade Fire - Ready to Start. 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.
