Respect is definitely due to both guys, all hype train fun aside Platinum is a damn fun, old school guy who gives no fucks and will take a replacement on short notice, there's no ducking a late replacement for him. I don't know Reyes but well done to him too for taking his shot against a very dangerous opponent, thats the attitude the UFC needs and I hope there's a bonus for both guys.
And (just because its a PMP thread lol) I hope that the UFC pay for the best hospital in Pittsburgh for Reyes when this fight is over
