Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Domenico Mazziotti (ranked 70 p4p, 224 weight class) and Jason Stackhouse (ranked 9 p4p, 30 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mazziotti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welcome to the party - Pop Smoke. Stackhouse has chosen True Blood as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
