Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nykolai Kersikov (ranked 261 p4p, 1438 weight class) and Jaro Key (ranked 24 p4p, 135 weight class). Kersikov comes to the cage accompanied by Frequencerz & Da Tweekaz - Full Control. The crowd seem to be enjoying Key's choice of entrance music: HonestKey- The Unseen. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
