Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Orestes Prometheus (ranked 91 p4p, 129 weight class) and Adan Puno (ranked 14 p4p, 22 weight class). Prometheus comes to the cage accompanied by Before I Forget - Slipknot. 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 Adan Puno was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
