Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sarge Dela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aldo Raine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dela comes to the cage accompanied by BLUNT- The Iron Maiden. The crowd seem to be enjoying Raine's choice of entrance music: Slaughter - Billy Preston. 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 Aldo Raine was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
