Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nassim Muatabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nassim Muatabe had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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 pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
