Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Malcolm Master (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by seven nation army . Nate Johnson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.8lbs 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. Nate Johnson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
