Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rodolfo Gusman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bagdan Khmelnytsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gusman comes into the arena with La sonora santanera - El santo, el cavernario blaring out of the sound system. 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.
