Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Keast Beasty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Broph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beasty might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SOILWORK - As We Speak . 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.
