Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bagel Boss (ranked 1701 p4p, 1843 weight class) and Ben Reed (ranked 204 p4p, 220 weight class). Boss's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 6 Foot 7 Foot. Ben Reed will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
