Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kurt Cobain (ranked 1199 p4p, 2352 weight class) and Yellow Belt Casey (ranked 139 p4p, 244 weight class). Cobain's entrance music is Smells Like Teen Spirit. A fine choice. 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.
