Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Max Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Denke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steel comes to the cage accompanied by Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. Denke comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Runnin With The Devil kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Max Steel had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
