David Rickels has pulled off many a cosplay in his lengthy combat sports career, but perhaps none that can relate to the average MMA fan more than the one at Thursday’s BKFC 23 weigh-ins. Dressed as WWE star “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Rickels went full “Texas Rattlesnake” with Coors Lights in hand. Shaved head, black vest, and all, Rickels flipped a beer to opponent and fellow Bellator alum Mike Richman – like he’s done it a million times before.
