Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Fish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coleman comes into the arena with Break blaring out of the sound system. Ryan Coleman had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Ryan Coleman could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to King Fish's chin.
