Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between duece delta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Stageberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). delta kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is go go cactus man. Stageberg is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bone Thugs and Harmony - Tha' Crossroads. 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 Joey Stageberg was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
