Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Li is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 2pac - hit em up. John Li told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
