Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zeta Knox (ranked 3575 p4p, 167 weight class) and David Unsworth (ranked 3593 p4p, 117 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Knox might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Five Finger Death Punch | Bad Company . 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 David Unsworth was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
