Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rakan Alrashed (ranked 3855 p4p, 5103 weight class) and Ewan Striker (ranked 413 p4p, 488 weight class). Rakan Alrashed had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. The key to victory for Rakan Alrashed has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
