Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Benn Jr (ranked 1966 p4p, 1971 weight class) and Bobby Knuckles (ranked 263 p4p, 256 weight class). Nigel Benn Jr had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
