Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Robert Stone (ranked 1671 p4p, 174 weight class) and Scuba Chris (ranked 3095 p4p, 277 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Chill Bill. Robert Stone could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Scuba Chris's chin.
