Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Keynes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steele comes to the cage accompanied by Freak On A Leash. Keynes is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Concerto for Four Violins in B minor. 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.
