Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Adam Vanier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stepan Koshka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Stepan Koshka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
