'G-Unit' said:

"Yeah, you know, we know Regian. You know, he's very hands-on. He's got good - you know, he's more kickboxing style, let's be honest. You know, he's got good hands, he chops the legs, good movement. You know, he's a five-round fighter. He's done it a lot of times. We know he comes fit, he comes ready, he's professional."

Needless to say, fans simply cannot wait for the two to go to war, as George Jarvis challenges Regian Eersel for divisional supremacy very soon.
