Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rimmer Couture (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Kovacs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kovacs is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by All Along the watchtower - Jimmy Hendrix. Rimmer Couture had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Rimmer Couture is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
