Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Xiao Long Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lawrence Trainor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Li might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dragon Punch!. Trainor is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
