Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rogerio Mustacho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmitry Boitsoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mustacho's entrance music is Los Lobos - Canción Del Mariachi. A fine choice. Boitsoff has chosen My Domination as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
