Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Russian Experiment II (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franko Mia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Experiment II comes to the cage accompanied by Terminator 2 - Bad to the Bone. Mia has chosen . as his entrance music. Russian Experiment II had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Russian Experiment II could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Franko Mia's chin.
