Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kidney Stone (ranked 1127 p4p, 1308 weight class) and Leonardo Da Silva (ranked 124 p4p, 139 weight class). Stone comes to the cage accompanied by Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppord. Da Silva has chosen Lil Uzi Vert - XO Tour Llif3 as his entrance music. 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.
