Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Hardcore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and sol sunday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ricky Hardcore had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.0lbs, 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. Ricky Hardcore could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to sol sunday's chin.
