Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Ryo Hazuki (ranked 22466 p4p, 23851 weight class) and Pharoah The First Chai (ranked 416 p4p, 419 weight class). Ryo Hazuki had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.0lbs, 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. Pharoah The First Chai told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
