One of the more under-the-radar fights on Saturday’s UFC 211 card in Dallas is a featherweight clash between Chas Skelly and Jason Knight. Both men are on the cusp of entering the top-15 in perhaps the deepest division in the UFC, so there’s much at stake in this battle between two entertaining ground specialists.
Skelly sports an impressive record of 6-2 in side the Octagon, including submission finishes in his last two fights, which took place in his home state of Texas. Very early in his UFC career, “The Scrapper” earned himself a pair of wins over the span of two weeks, but as he recently told Bloody Elbow’s Three Amigos Podcast, making two weight cuts over a very short period of time was rough on his body.
