Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Toga Reyes (ranked 3587 p4p, 3492 weight class) and Sellus Gravius Jr (ranked 411 p4p, 397 weight class). Reyes comes to the cage accompanied by Loco En El Coco by Cypress Hill. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gravius Jr's choice of entrance music: No Bullets Fly - Sabaton. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
