Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cosmo Oarsman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anakoni Kai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kai is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Firestarter. Cosmo Oarsman had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be fireworks!
