Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carrera Villamora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Spanky Spangler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spangler is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by WHITE LIGHTNING-by AB. Spangler has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
