Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pauke Murhapuro (ranked 553 p4p, 669 weight class) and Kazuma Kuwabara (ranked 78 p4p, 97 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kuwabara's choice of entrance music: Kazuma Kuwabara Theme. Pauke Murhapuro had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.2lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
