Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hiroko Mayamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Power is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Survivor - Eyes of The Tiger. Hiroko Mayamoto had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
