Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ernesto Mathieu (ranked 66 p4p, 23 weight class) and Andrei Kersikov (ranked 8 p4p, 3 weight class). Mathieu comes into the arena with F*ck Tha Police by NWA blaring out of the sound system. Kersikov has chosen Head of the Table as his entrance music. Andrei Kersikov told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
