Takanori Gomi, Seung Hwan Bang and sixteen other fighters stepped up to the scales today in preparation for tomorrow’s Sengoku IV event in Saitama, Japan.

Everyone made weight without any issues including "The Fireball Kid" who actually came in a little under the required 154lb limit, weighing in at 153.8 pounds. His opponent, Seung Hwan Bang, was right on the mark checking in at 154lbs.

The rest of the Lightweight Grand Prix participants weighed in just under the 154lb mark excluding Satoru Kitaoka who was right at 154lbs.

The Lightweight Grand Prix features some stiff competition including former IFL champion Ryan "The Lion" Schultz who brought Chris Horodecki’s 11-0 run to a screeching halt. It also features former Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion Rodrigo Damm and the "Hit Squads" Clay French who hasn’t faced defeat since losing to Shinya Aoki in 2006.

The winner of the Lightweight Grand Prix will get a shot at Gomi for the vacant Sengoku lightweight crown. Bouts featuring Frank Trigg, Pawel Nastula, and Valentijn Overeem round out this action packed card.
