Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sudo Nym (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Shlemenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sudo Nym had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, 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. Fedor Shlemenko is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
