Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Muir (ranked 4546 p4p, 24310 weight class) and Kurt Reinhardt (ranked 251 p4p, 425 weight class). Reinhardt has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Douglas Muir had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
