Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Abbott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eulogy Spoakin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abbott's entrance music is Killer Cuts - . A fine choice. Spoakin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Scarface ft Devin The Dude - Hand Of The Dead Body kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
