Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Nickoson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Varg Vikernes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Varg Vikernes struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Anthony Nickoson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
