Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Reem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gennaro Trivieri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fabolous - My Time ft. Jeremih. Trivieri has chosen Deep Purple - Child in Time as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
