Nazaire is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Spaceape (Burial). Snoop Gizzel had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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.
