Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Max Zadornov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Parkachev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vladimir Parkachev struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Max Zadornov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
