Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Spanky Spangler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spangler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to WHITE LIGHTNING-by AB. Sam Smith is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
