Derrick Mehmen, debuting in Russia at FIGHT NIGHTS GLOBAL 64 on April 28th in Moscow, told us how he feels about the upcoming fight with Alexei Kudin
«: I’m very excited to visit Russia again. I came for a visit in 2011 with Jeff Monson when he fought Fedor. It was an amazing time and amazing people. I'm very excited to fight in front of the Russian crowd. Russia has very good fight knowledge. I can not give away my secrets. I obviously will respect him as a very dangerous fighter he has very good striking. I have very good striking and grappling as well. I believe I am a more well rounded fighter. My immediate plans are to face Alexie Kudin and defeat him. That is all I am focused on right now. Winning this fight.
How did I get “Caveman” nickname? The first day I arrived at ATT I had long hair and was missing a front tooth. Head Coach Conan said I looked just like a caveman, and it has stuck ever since».
