Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fu Li (ranked 1873 p4p, 3426 weight class) and Dubba Sub (ranked 228 p4p, 392 weight class).

These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
