Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Harris Reed (ranked 548 p4p, 949 weight class) and Bob Probert (ranked 75 p4p, 124 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Probert has chosen DNA as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
