Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Freddy Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franklin Munchack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Franklin Munchack told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
