Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Helge Fossmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Horn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fossmo comes to the ring accompanied by Helge Fossmo predikar. 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 Kenny Horn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
