Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tarmo Suulas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Li Xiaolong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suulas's entrance music is Hollywood Undead - Undead. A fine choice. 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?
