Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Stanley Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlton Banks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banks has chosen Carlton Dance Medley as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Stanley Stone looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
