Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samir Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Bruens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reyes comes to the cage accompanied by Celia Cruz - Guantanamera. Bruens has chosen River Below as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
