Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Kesler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Franklin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kesler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cancer Bats - Deathsmarch. Ryan Kesler could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mark Franklin's chin.
