Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dylon Taylor (ranked 3124 p4p, 4382 weight class) and Juan Valdemoro (ranked 413 p4p, 534 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 Juan Valdemoro was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
