Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Garik Harlamov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Emelianenko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Enea Vollare Mezzo. Garik Harlamov will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
