Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Wes Ekwall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pac Quiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ekwall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Linkin Park--One Step Closer. Quiao is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Motto - Drake Ft. Lil Wayne and Tyga. Wes Ekwall is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
