Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Veloso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Li has chosen Give My Bullet Back as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
