ESPN MMA Live: UFC 96 Preview

March 5, 2009 / /


On this week's ESPN MMA Live, host Jon Anik, Franklin McNeil, and Kenny Florian take an in-depth look at Saturday's UFC 96 card and breakdown the main event fight between former light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine.

And I have to admit, it's pretty neat for Kenny Florian to be talking about the St. Pierre-Penn fight when he's next in line for BJ Penn. One of the nice perks of having pro fighters on air.
