Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christophe Dupree (ranked 230 p4p, 33 weight class) and Umberto Reem (ranked 988 p4p, 122 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Reem's choice of entrance music: Bad Reputation. 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.
