Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Stinkbomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donato Russo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stinkbomb comes to the cage accompanied by New Noise. Ivan Stinkbomb had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.1lbs, 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 can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
