Lightweights Marcus Hicks and Shane Roller meet at WEC 42 in August

Marcus "The Wrecking Ball" Hicks (8-2 MMA, 3-2 WEC) will look to snap a two-fight losing streak when he meets fellow WEC lightweight Shane Roller (5-2 MMA, 2-1 WEC) in August at WEC 42.

A source close to the negotiations today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) bout agreements have been signed and that an official announcement could be made shortly.

The fight is expected to be the featured bout on the preliminary card for WEC 42, which takes place Aug. 9 at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

STORY

should be a good scrap.

I think I would side with Hicks...although he has mini t-rex reach..his boxing is pretty solid, and his ground game is good enough to to get subbed I think.

I think he scores a KO sometime in the fight
