Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Huolilong Li (ranked 1418 p4p, 1348 weight class) and Albert Rinderknecht (ranked 178 p4p, 166 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Li might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to MADE IN CHINA. Rinderknecht is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bring Me The Horizon - Can You Feel My Heart. 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.
