Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Villarreal (ranked 3426 p4p, 346 weight class) and Craig Jordan (ranked 7402 p4p, 490 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Villarreal might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tupac- I’m a Soldier. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
