Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Reem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Eisenhardt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fabolous - My Time ft. Jeremih. Eisenhardt has chosen Magneto's Theme as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
