Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eulogy Spoakin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sanchez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slayer - Jesus Saves. Spoakin has chosen Scarface ft Devin The Dude - Hand Of The Dead Body as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
