Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Ortiz (ranked 1653 p4p, 1910 weight class) and Jan Claude Van Damme (ranked 206 p4p, 239 weight class). Van Damme comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Wai khru ram muay kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
