Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Emperor (ranked 2811 p4p, 2817 weight class) and Buck Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emperor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enae Volare Mezzo. Buck Rogers is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
