Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Armando Reyes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hardcore Geno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reyes comes to the cage accompanied by Crank Dat. Geno comes into a darkened arena with his song building. B.Y.O.B- System of a Down kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
