Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaheim Reid (ranked 241 p4p, 31 weight class) and Neyman Gariniho (ranked 903 p4p, 118 weight class). Reid kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sizzla - Taking Over. 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.
