Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between George Mako (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kanye Yamamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Yamamoto's choice of entrance music: No Way Out by ZZ. Kanye Yamamoto struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.2lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Kanye Yamamoto was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
