Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bill Russell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dark Matter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bill Russell had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
