*Njokuani missed weight by .5 pounds and will be fined a percentage of his purse.

Vitor Petrino (249)

Didn’t he fight at LHW? I know he looked huge there but man… 44 pounds over the LHW limit when he went up.

@HI SCOTT NEWMAN we need to fat check these heavyweights

 

[Danespina]

Lewis/Teixeira has at least got some steam behind it now that the division is beginning to roll again.

Same goes for Nzechukwu/Walker. Neither is ranked but they both have momentum. Walker is actually coming off back to back heel hooks.

 

[Danespina]

Kattar/Garcia is also interesting as it's one of those fights where one fighter is on the way up and the other down, but you still don't quite know who is better.

Calvin Katter: Lost his last 4.
Steve Garcia: Won his last 5.

Could be interesting.

Decent fight night card , has potentiel , 7/10

 

[10000yearsold]

I’m stoked! Return of the hws!
whole card is fun.

 

[linvillegorge]

Hadn't paid any attention but this is nice. This is like an old school Fight Night card. Not "big fights" but a ton of fun scraps that knowledgeable fans will be stoked to see.

Lewis looked in the best shape he has ever been in. I hope he wins by brutal KO. War Lewis!!!!!! always a fan

I predict Lewis drops Teixeria and follows up with some brutal ground 'n' pound

Im also wondering where hes at after the Landwehr win but after calling out Bryce Mitchell (And not getting the fight) its been radio silence from him, perhaps hes injured...
More Korean Superboy is always a good thing

Good thing he's fighting a HW that gets knocked out if you sneeze in his general direction.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

It’s so obvious that the higher classes are more carefree and jovial on the scale, the smaller the guys the more miserable they look from the cut. In particular Landweir and Thompson looking drawn out, Murphy too, but she always looks like death on the scale.

Nate going to die before he puts on a show for his hometown
