Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nykolai Kersikov (ranked 128 p4p, 469 weight class) and Big Daddy (ranked 14 p4p, 48 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kersikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Frequencerz & Da Tweekaz - Full Control. On his way into the cage it seems that Nykolai Kersikov has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nykolai Kersikov seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
