Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tetsu Bodashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Blake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andrzej Blake struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.3lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
