Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vaughn Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Coleman (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 Steve Coleman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
