UFC on FX: Ken Stone vs Mike Easton booked for Jan. 20 in Nashville
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has added a couple of bantamweight bangers to its upcoming network televised fight card from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., on Fri., Jan. 20, 2012.
UFC on FX 1 will see 135-pound veterans Ken Stone and Mike Easton mix it up for a spot in the division's increasingly competitive title chase when the promotion heads to "Music City" later this month.
Stone (10-3) suffered back-to-back sleepers against Eddie Wineland and Scott Jorgensen under the Zuffa banner; however, the American Top Team product was able to rebound with an impressive finish (rear naked choke) over Donny Walker back in September.
Opposing him is Easton, the 11-1 "Hulk" who smashed his way through D.C.'s regional circuit before making a successful UFC debut against Byron Bloodworth, knocking him out at UFC on Versus 6 last October.

Ken Stone has made strides but yea not on easton's level.
Though you never know, Easton like hioki loves to fight dumb sometimes.
