Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ingemar Anders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Star Dust (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anders kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gods Son. Dust has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Star Dust was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
