Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Tyzzkling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yury Kulikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyzzkling kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dagger (mustasch). Yury Kulikov told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
