Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Raul Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Norifumi Akiyama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez's entrance music is Mobb Deep - Cold as Ice. A fine choice. Norifumi Akiyama struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.6lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Norifumi Akiyama was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
