Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between mE YoU (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keith Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Keith Jones has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
