Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Maximus Decimus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy Stinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Decimus comes to the cage accompanied by Monster Truck,- Righteous Smoke. 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 Freddy Stinger was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
