The UFC's poet laureate, Nik Lentz, issues a new poem ahead of fight with Danny Castillo

ORLANDO -- Though he didn't attend the UFC on FOX 17 media day on Thursday, Nik Lentz wasn't exactly idling in his hotel room. In fact, "The Carny" was busy writing a poem just two days ahead of his fight with Danny Castillo on Saturday night's prelims — his third such installment since striking out against B.J. Penn in October.

In this one, the bard of fisticuffs revisited last week's colossal weekend in Las Vegas, with detours into Al Iaquinta eating jabs and yet another potshot at his original muse, the "Prodigy" himself.
