Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Russian Experiment I (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Vaghi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Russian Experiment I 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. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Ivan Vaghi enters the cage!
