Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Smoke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Steinburger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smoke kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is John E Smoke. Steinburger has chosen Throw the Jew down the well as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
