Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Genki Sudo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rener Figuera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Figuera has chosen Fistful of Steel as his entrance music. Genki Sudo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, 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. Rener Figuera looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
