PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolai Kukuev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Drago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Nikolai Kukuev has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nikolai Kukuev seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Kukuev working for a triangle but Drago defends it easily.
Kukuev has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Drago should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Kukuev has tightened it up now! Drago should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:28 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Nikolai Kukuev!
