Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Katuro Tisoaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aizen Senshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tisoaka comes to the ring accompanied by Festivo. The crowd seem to be enjoying Senshi's choice of entrance music: Scumbag. Katuro Tisoaka had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.6lbs, 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. Katuro Tisoaka could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Aizen Senshi's chin.
