Storyline
Dying from stomach stab wounds, Russian extreme fighter Vince Koslov stumbles into Forest service employee Daniel Nash. Koslov bit off a tattoo from his presumed hit target, Russian mob burglar Andrew Brodsky, who is found bled to death but didn't touch the fatal knife. The knife traces to diving equipment salesman Greg Donner, who sold it to Brodsky's girl Cassandra Gray. She falsely confesses to the stabbing, apparently under the duress of a death threat from the Russian mob. Horatio believes that Ivan Sarnoff's fight club is actually a Russian mob killer training program. He finds in the club the blood of corrupt yacht owner Nathan Madden, missing since two years, according to wife Susan. But how does it all tie together? Written by

Quotes
Eric Delko:
[
about one of their victims]
You know, Calleigh, this guy's Russian mob, too.
Calleigh Duquesne:
How can you tell?
Eric Delko:
These Russian mob tattoos, they read like a criminal résumé. The cat on his chest - that means he was a thief.
Calleigh Duquesne:
I always forget that you're half Russian.
Eric Delko:
Yeah. I went through a phase when, uh... I wanted to learn about Russia and my family's history. Didn't always like what I found.

After this episode I can see there will be more of this story because the big "bad guy" isn't taken in and Horatio says, "I'm going to get you, Ivan," at the end.
"Ivan" is (not too hard to figure) the head of a local Russian Mob. By the way, whatever happened to the most famous mob: the Mafia? How come you never see that on these CSI shows, only the Russian mob? Just asking.
Anyway, the CSI has to figure out several murders here, which began at a boxing club and wound up in a remote Everglades area. In one of the deaths, one man bit the other guy's carotid artery.
Note: This program always has a slew of a beautiful young women in it, but this one also includes an older (40-50-year-old actress (there is no bio here at IMDb) who is stunningly attractive. I am speaking of Shawn Huff who plays "Susan Madden."
