Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vitali Kersikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kersikov's entrance music is The Offspring - All i Want. A fine choice. Mercer has chosen Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young as his entrance music. 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.
