Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Duncan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duncan has chosen Moonlit Masquerade as his entrance music. Eric Stone had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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.
