Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Don Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hughtavious Mingo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diego's entrance music is Tupac - I'm a Soldier. A fine choice. 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.
