Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nickolai Zhukov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zhukov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hands of a Killer kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Zhukov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Nickolai Zhukov will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
