Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Clifford Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eulogy Spoakin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith's entrance music is Mohammed's theme. A fine choice. Spoakin has chosen Scarface ft Devin The Dude - Hand Of The Dead Body as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Clifford Smith could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Eulogy Spoakin's chin.
