Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Kingston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ike Riddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kingston comes into the arena with Public Enemy - Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos blaring out of the sound system. 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.
