Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Mad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Taylor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Champion-Flipsyde. Mad is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Move aside and let the man go through. Jimmy Taylor could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Max Mad's chin.
