Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Royce Reyes (ranked 4742 p4p, 479 weight class) and Hamdi Shabani (ranked 24629 p4p, 700 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reyes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Death or Glory. Shabani has chosen Hammer Time by Lecrae (ft. 1K. Phew) as his entrance music. Hamdi Shabani will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
