Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cleveland Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cleveland Brown Rap. Stone has chosen Metallica (Stone Cold Crazy) as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
