Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ray Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stu Gotts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Holla If Ya Hear Me!. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gotts's choice of entrance music: Godfather Theme. Ray Jones looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
