Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Hughes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emelianenko's entrance music is Pride Fc Theme Song. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Fedor Emelianenko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Fedor Emelianenko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
