PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Keith Jardean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anderson De Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jardean might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can't be Touched. 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?
