Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Liam Reem (ranked 4563 p4p, 5276 weight class) and Phil Cosby (ranked 62 p4p, 159 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Daft Punk - Robot Rock. Cosby has chosen I Want Your Sex as his entrance music. Liam Reem has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
