One of the world's toughest MMA fighters

Well, feck me, there was me thinking it was Anderson Silva, GSP or maybe even Lyoto.

Guess i was wrong, Bravo reckon it's Tom 'Kong' Watson, as Alex Reid is gonna be facing "One of the worlds toughest fighters" :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hardly the can i was expecting though, on a 7 fight win streak

That will be a tough fight, i think he'll beat the snot outta Alex Reid to be honest, funny how forgotten Reid is already though!

Tom has been training out of Jacksons and Tristar for the last while, he has made massive improvements in his game recently, and he is going to butcher Reid...IF the fight goes ahead. I'll be amazed if Reid doesnt demand a rule change to standup only or pull out completely.

Bad move by Reid. He should stay away from MMA and try focus on TV deals or something. Watson will wreck him.

Watson had a great knockout in his last fight, I think it was about a month ago

I think we all know that Watson will beat the crap outta him, but i'm amazed how Bravo are marketing this fight, people WILL actually tune in thinking they're seeing Reid take on one of the best MMA fighters out there!

Ive seen this advertised as 'coming soo' on Bravo,anyone know the exact date this is on?
Just watching this for the sheer spectacle of seeing reid getting KTFO.I dont dislike the lad but hes livign the rockstar lifstyle and apparently hasnt been fully focusing on this fight and i think he needs a beating to show you cant half train at that level if you want to succeed/survive.I thin it will be a wake up call to either drop the lifestyle hes livign with jordan and focus on fighting or get out of there and following acting etc before he gets hurt.

May 5th, so not as soon as Bravo would have you believe.

Reid is gonna get smashed. The reason they didnt put him against a can is because he IS the can. He hasn't won a fight since Jul2005.. when he gets into th cage that'l be almost 5 years.

I won a fight in school in 6th class more recently than that!

(On a personal level though, i'd like to see him do well. He came across extremely well on CBB and seems like a genuinely nice guy)
