Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Judas Lucifer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emelianenko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enea Vollare Mezzo. Lucifer comes into a darkened arena with his song building. A Few Dollars More kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Fedor Emelianenko could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Judas Lucifer's chin.
