|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sergeant Dignam (ranked 22377 p4p, 718 weight class) and Stone Cold Killa (ranked 22737 p4p, 686 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dignam might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Go Hard. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
