Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Artur Grunwaldzki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Otso Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grunwaldzki comes to the cage accompanied by Within Temptation - Forsaken. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Otso Koski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
