Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mode Benke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Li Junjie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Junjie's choice of entrance music: Kung Fu Fighting. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Li Junjie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
