Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jiri Ahokas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kai Watanabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ahokas comes to the ring accompanied by Shoot to Thrill by AC/DC. Watanabe has chosen Bombage by Tiësto as his entrance music. Kai Watanabe struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
