Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vitali Kersikov I I (ranked 51 p4p, 118 weight class) and Camaras Account (ranked 9 p4p, 17 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kersikov I I might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sefa & Mr. Ivex - LSD Problem. Camaras Account has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Vitali Kersikov I I's chin.
