PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Russian Experiment V (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Hicks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hicks is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bang Your Head. Russian Experiment V had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Russian Experiment V has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
