About:
Nick named 'lava lamp' by some fans, Mike is a patrol officer for the Chicago Police Department (I'm not American, but I know that place is a bit rough) has been in the fight game for good 13 years. In that time he has only lost once (via armbar to Sergei Kharitonov).
He was on his way to losing for the second time against Todd Duffee (built like Hercules and fights like him too, except no hair...) being on the brutal end of stiff jabs and brutal crosses but then this happened:
One punch (which broke his arm by the way). He followed up with what can only be described as a brutal hammerfist to the face.
This most unlikely of knockouts got him the knockout of the night bonus ($69k...nice) and the admiration of many new fans.
Despite his appearance, he has great cardio, excellent wrestling and BJJ and an iron chin. He recently TKO Jon Madsen (pretty decent up and coming fighter out of Brock Lesnar's Camp) and currently is not scheduled to face anyone. I for one would like to see him and Ben Rothwell slug it out.
I don't think he will win the UFC belt anytime soon, but he will be a stern test for anyone in the HW division, that's why he ranks at number 5.

Mike Russow kicks ass
I'd like to see a good match RIGHT NOW!
I need to start watching more matches.
Brutal guy lol
I don't care for street violence but I love the idea of competitive fighting.
i cant watch that gif!
Oh god. That hurts.
Ouch!
well now i know
Unfortunately as badass as he his, he's gonna hit up the bars and unless chicks know who he is, he's just another fat guy.
umm.. looks like wrestling in real huh?
wonder if theres any match on tv
Nice choice.
Yeah I remember seeing this guy before, he doesn't look much but he's pretty surprising sometimes, isn't he?
This guy is hardcore
He is throwing a hard punch
I love all the latent homosexuality in UFC.
lol jk this is badass
I see nothing homosexual about one man laying on top of another man...oh wait...
waw never would have thought a guy this fat could actually put up a fight :)
Just getting into MMA myself, bunch of friends of mine went to UFC 129 in Toronto. I missed the boat. I'll subscribe in hopes to learn more from you!
Mike is the best in my opinion.
Taking one for the fatties!
fat people have the hardest punch out of everyone, its just physic brah. But its always better to have muscle instead of fat.
That would hurt :S
I like boxing :)
Can't wait to see all of it.
I do like Mike the best - man this takes some major cajones to be able to do.
big fell
try and look up his weight and punch speed to figure out how hard he punches
That guy can take damage and still come back for the win!
That fight was so lopsided then he landed that bomb and the entire bar i was at erupted. That was sadly the highlight to an otherwise boring fight. Especially since Rashad was unwilling to fight Rampage despite threatening to kick his ass repeatedly in pre fight buildup.
