Greatest Hits - Match 2: Zack Reno vs Tyson - UCW/UW

My favorite scenes are during the final 3rd of the match, where Cameron sleepers out Rico numerous times until he's finally satisfied with the harsh lesson he's taught the rookie. I actually had a tricky time finding the CanAm website, but I eventually came across...
