Both athletes are coming off wins over top five ranked opponents in their weight, with Kennedy recently submitting Junny Ocasio at F2W and Geo defeating Paulo Miyao at WNO in October. WNO is all about making the biggest possible matches in the sport come to fruition, so it only made sense that these two stars collide at a catchweight sooner or later.
