Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Frank Morris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stanley Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morris's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kane - No Surrender. Stanley Stone struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Frank Morris has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
