MMA Crunch —
Don’t tell James Irvin that he doesn’t have a chance against Anderson “The Spider” Silva. He admits that he might see the very best Silva at 205 pounds, however Irvin is still training for the fight of his life. Despite being a heavy underdog, Irvin will come in with the ability to end the fight with one punch. His last bout lasted a mere eight seconds following a ferocious Superman Punch delivered to Houston Alexander. Check out Irvin as he get’s ready to climb into the Spider’s web.
