PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cesar Filho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elvis Bika (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bika has chosen My Decision as his entrance music. Cesar Filho had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Elvis Bika has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
