Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Benoit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cain Daley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benoit comes to the cage accompanied by Whatever - Our Lady Peace. 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 Cain Daley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
