Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Grammur Natzee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julius Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Natzee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Marillion - Garden Party. Peppers has chosen Day N Nite-Kid Cudi as his entrance music. Julius Peppers will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
