Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Willy Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Markiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Markiewicz has chosen Nelly- Heart of a Champion as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jacob Markiewicz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jacob Markiewicz told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
