Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between David Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kyle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Big Booty Woman. Reyes comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa 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.
