Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kurt Cobain (ranked 2037 p4p, 1080 weight class) and Luke Skywalker (ranked 220 p4p, 132 weight class). Cobain's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Smells Like Teen Spirit. Skywalker has chosen Skywalker Theme as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
