Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Shinya Aoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pieru Haisee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shinya Aoki had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, 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. Shinya Aoki is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
