Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andrzej Blake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hikaru Sato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andrzej Blake had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Hikaru Sato will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
