Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leon Lentz (ranked 588 p4p, 523 weight class) and Kurt Cobain (ranked 91 p4p, 83 weight class). Cobain comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Smells Like Teen Spirit kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
