Former PRIDE FC Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko will be making his UFC Fight Pass debut later this month when he collides with ex-UFC light heavyweight slugger Fabio Maldonado at the Eurasian Fight Night (EFN) 50 event in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Much more on that contest here.
To help mixed martial arts (MMA) fans get reacquainted with the “Last Emperor,” Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is going deep into the vault to push out a handful of his most dominant performances, including his murder-death-kill against Andrei Arlovski in Affliction.
Relive the violence here.
Next up is Emelianenko’s rematch against Mark Coleman at PRIDE 32, which took place in late 2006 inside the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Stary Oskol native already nailed “The Hammer” back in 2004, but a lot changed in those four years.
Like the fact that Coleman did this.
Nevertheless, the outcome is unlikely to surprise you, though I must admit, it was kinda sad watching Coleman’s teary-eyed daughters rush the ring to save their 42-year-old dad.
PRIDE never cry!
