PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nicodimus Scarfo (ranked 5210 p4p, 5054 weight class) and Blue Knight (ranked 577 p4p, 574 weight class). Nicodimus Scarfo 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. Nicodimus Scarfo had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
