What a nerdfighter is?
The only thing I can find is that a person who is one, is 'made of awesome'.
But really, what does a person have to be to be a nerdfighter?
I know there's different 'denominations' such as a Nintendo Nerdfighter..
I tried looking at the FAQ on the nerdfighter website thing, but it wouldn't work when I clicked..

sounds like somebody who is really, really, really good at video games like Halo and God of War. therefore, falling under the category of "nerd" with the video games, and a "fighter" due to the fighting nature of the games. The different systems come with different games, thus giving each system a different title.

I dunno, I could be waay off base, but this made the most sense to me.

It doesn't seem to only be video games though...
The description of a nerdfighter is so vague.
What I get from it, is if you're obsessed with something in a nerdy way, you're a Nerdfighter. So possibly, someone could be a Disney Nerdfighter, if they know the most random facts, and learn these things obsessively..

Here's the first, highest-rated UrbanDictionary entry, if it helps. (I'd never even heard the word before just now.)

Nerdfighter

Nerds who fight, usually against popular people. This term originated from the videoblog Brotherhood 2.0. John Green, one of the two participants in the videoblog, noticed a game called Nerd Fighters at an airport. Eventually, the viewers of the videoblog began being dubbed nerdfighters.

Nerdfighters are considered to be "made of awesome" by John, Hank (the other participant in the videoblog), and other nerdfighters. The nerdfighters often send in pictures of nerdfighter related activities to the videoblog, such as nerdfighter embroidered pillows. It is unknown what will happen to nerdfighting when the videoblog ends.

As an adjective:
"Bob is pretty nerdfighter."

As a noun:
"Bob is a nerdfighter."

As a verb:
"Yeah, I totally nerdfought my way through that."

As a group:
"The nerdfighters killed Bob's family."
