Nathaniel Bustamante, also known by his stage name Salt Papi, is scheduled to face off against Amadeusz Ferrari Roślik, a former star of Fame MMA, at Misfits X Series 14.
Prior to their highly anticipated main event bout on Saturday night in London, England, the two men met face-to-face at the weigh-in on May 10, in front of a full crowd.
Ferrari was the first to step onto the scale, his intense gaze fixed on the stage. With a physique that appeared to be carved from stone, he confidently flexed as the scale registered his weight at 171 pounds.
As the patrons began to engage in trash talk with Ferrari, the intense presence of the Polish fighter could be felt throughout the crowd, building up the anticipation for Salt Papi’s arrival to the scene.

The renowned TikToker, who has amassed a following of over five million, received an onslaught of resounding cheers and supportive comments for the up-and-coming boxer of English-Filipino descent.
Despite being three pounds lighter than his opponent, Salt Papi entered the scale with a composed and confident demeanor. He exuded confidence as he weighed in at 168 pounds.
As the tension rose, chaos ensued. Salt Papi and Ferrari stood face to face, engaging in a pre-fight stare down and locking eyes.
Fellow boxer Anthony Taylor, who joined Salt Papi on stage, urged him to knock out their opponent, Ferrari. He even repeatedly referred to Ferrari as “polish sausage.”
Ferrari quickly retorted, “Shut up, you f****** idiot,” prompting Taylor to respond, “You’re not capable of killing anyone.”
Following that, Ferrari became fed up with talking and proceeded to strike Taylor with his left hand, the sound of the slap echoing through the microphones.

The chippiness continued, with expletives being thrown around freely. Taylor even went so far as to mention Ferrari’s family during the altercation.
The crowd’s participation spurred Ferrari on as insults continued to be thrown his way. In order to prevent the situation from escalating further, his team had to restrain him.
After the smoke dissipated, Ferrari was interviewed and he exclaimed, “I absolutely adore that exhilarating rush! Give me more!”
On May 11, Ferrari will have his first professional boxing match after a successful MMA career with 11 fights. Based on the weigh-in, it seems likely that Salt Papi can anticipate an explosive and action-packed match from the very beginning.
