Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bo Nastie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Maxwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nastie comes to the cage accompanied by Roots Bloody Roots by Sepultura. Bo Nastie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Bo Nastie has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
