Veteran and possible GP favorite Naoyuki Kotani has been disqualified from today’s Pancrase Lightweight GP since he failed to make weight. He weighed-in at 71.5kg yesterday and when he weighed-in again today he was 1.0kg over so he has been disqualified and his opponent, Tomoshi Iwamiya, will not get to fight today. Nothing yet on what will happen with this tournament fight but it’s either a rematch in the near future, Iwamiya advancing automatically, or a new opponent for Iwamiya."Also, the event will air on Samurai TV today at 11 PM.
All but one fighter successfully made weight on Monday ahead of Pancrase’s fourth “Impressive Tour” event, which goes down Tuesday at Differ Ariake in Tokyo.
UFC veteran Naoyuki Kotani, one of eight competitors in Pancrase’s 2011 lightweight grand prix, was the lone fighter to miss his mark. The 29-year-old submission specialist tipped the scales at 157.6 pounds for his match with Tomoyoshi Iwamiya (153.6) and will be reweighed on fight day, according to Pancrase officials.
