Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donny Meyers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emelianenko comes to the cage accompanied by Pride Fc Theme Song. Meyers has chosen Iron Man by Ozzy Osborne as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
