I agree that “The Iceman” will be looking for a knockout early, his last 10 fights have ended in KO’s or TKO’s. Don’t be fooled “The Dean Of Mean” Keith Jardine won’t go down without a fight hes no sour puss look for this fight to be a slugfest. No one has ever been able to submit Liddell so Jardine will also be looking for a knockout. The moneyline on the fight is currently at -450 for liddell so I wouldn’t bet on it but I would bet on “The Nightmare” Diego Sanchez at nearly even money hes coming off his first loss ever with a 19-1 record and has fought very tough opponents look for him to bounce back from a dissapointing loss and give jon fitch nightmares tonight.
