Nah-Shon Burrell Nah-Shon Burrell narrowly avoided suffering the double-whammy at CES MMA 34. He missed weight by six pounds for his welterweight title bout with Chris Curtis , and while he didn’t get the belt, was gifted one of the worst decisions of the year. Burrell (13-6) came in massively overweight for Friday’s bout with Curtis (13-5), which headlined the AXS TV-televised event at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., forcing the promotion to alter the scheduled contest to five rounds of non-title catchweight fighting. The champion Curtis still showed his comfort in the confines of a 25-minute framework, though, because he lulled Burrell into his pace of fighting and had a strong argument to win four, if not all five rounds.
