Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Heinz Spack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Blaze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spack comes to the cage accompanied by Kernkraft 400. Blaze is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Judith by a Perfect Circle. Heinz Spack had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.4lbs, 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. Heinz Spack could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Johnny Blaze's chin.
