Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Nick Ernest (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steven Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stark has chosen 36 MaFia - Live By Yo Rep as his entrance music. Nick Ernest looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
