Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Guy River (ranked 385 p4p, 1377 weight class) and Kurt Cobain (ranked 52 p4p, 195 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
