Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dax Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Stall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stall is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Subtle People - Let's Ride. 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 Dan Stall was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
