Fedor Emelianenko defends the Heavyweight title!
Jesus, Fedor did everything in this fight. He came in and decided to shotgun-blast every damned skill he knew at Rutten in an attempt to get past Bas' lethal kicks. It worked. And he made Bas, a very worthy opponent, look like trash in this one. Wild stuff. And the most complete performance from Fedor ever.
