Mike Delery, Redondo Beach PD vs Daniel Ming, Oakland PD (retired) features an intriguing matchup with two different paths to the Masters UCA Jr Middleweight Championship Title.
In 2016 Delery, LAPD claimed the UCA Jr Middleweight title. Delery would defend his title and in 2018 he dared to be great by moving up a division to capture a 2nd title. He went head to head with the UCA Middleweight Champion Christian Pharo, San Diego Fire Lifeguard and would lose by close decision. After nearly a 4 year layoff Delery looks to claim the title once again.  His opponent Daniel Ming, does not have a big record. Ming only has one mma fight but he has been around the sport of fighting his whole life. Delery has the clear experience advantage but Ming is closing that gap having Marcus Reaves in his corner. Reaves runs and owns the UFC Gym in Sacramento and has worked with some of the most renowned boxing and MMA fighters in the industry. Ming is taking full advantage of it.  He has taken advice and worked with Chris Holdsworth, Darren Elkins, Danny Castillo, Ricky Turcois, Vince Murdock and Kito Andrews. Experience and knowledge will prove key in this fight. Does Delery still have what it takes to be a champion? Will the 4 year layoff be a factor? Can Team Ming close the experience gap?  Those questions will be answered April 2, 2022. Don’t miss the Central California Battle of the Badges at the Visalia Convention Center.  Doors open at 4pm fighters touch gloves at 6pm.
