Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Naya Shinoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kei Kurono (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kei Kurono struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.9lbs 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. Kei Kurono is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
