Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Pridmore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gordon brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Billy Pridmore had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
