Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chris Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Lombard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lombard has chosen 2 Chainz feat. Wiz Khalifa - We Own It as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
