Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Graham Goddard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julius Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goddard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Recipe for Bait. Peppers has chosen Day N Nite-Kid Cudi as his entrance music. Graham Goddard could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Julius Peppers's chin.
