Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Knuckles (ranked 3242 p4p, 3597 weight class) and Jim Rhat (ranked 387 p4p, 422 weight class). Rhat has chosen Das Ist It as his entrance music. Bobby Knuckles had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.5lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
