Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Kersikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gunnar Steigelmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kersikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Avicii - Wake Me Up ft Aloe Blacc. Gunnar Steigelmann has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
