Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Itzo Eiji (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hideki Masada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Masada has chosen "Tokyo Drift (Restage Remix)" by Teriyaki Boyz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Itzo Eiji had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Hideki Masada will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
