Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bsmds Nasmfus (ranked 6812 p4p, 6663 weight class) and Sven Karlsson (ranked 649 p4p, 641 weight class). Bsmds Nasmfus had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. Bsmds Nasmfus looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
