Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Spotlight Kid (ranked 3352 p4p, 364 weight class) and Masa Funaki (ranked 5853 p4p, 483 weight class). Spotlight Kid had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Masa Funaki will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
