Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Torquemada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Slater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Torquemada might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Anthrax - 1000 Points of Hate. Slater has chosen Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
