Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jimmer Octopulus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moe Lester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Octopulus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Finnish National Anthem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Lester's choice of entrance music: Twisted. Moe Lester has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
