Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mario Yamasaki (ranked 1982 p4p, 3003 weight class) and Derrick Ryker (ranked 268 p4p, 360 weight class). Mario Yamasaki had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
