Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Li Chen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bando Jutsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Open Hapiness. Li Chen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. The key to victory for Li Chen has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
