[Heavyweight] “The Last Emporer” Fedor Emelianenko vs. Singh “HEART” Jaideep*

*: With this being a same day taped compilation, the Co-Main Event & Main Event are different from the actual show. When the event happened on NYE 2015, the Fedor/Singh fight was the Co-Main Event with the Grand Prix Final being the Main Event. On the version of the show that aired through Russian State Run Sports Broadcaster MATCH TV (Матч ТВ), the Heavyweight Grand Prix Final was the only fight of the 2 Day Event that wasn’t shown considering that the channel cut to a hockey game after the Fedor/Singh Fight. The latter 2 fights of this compilation were also the subject of a Bellator MMA-produced program for SpikeTV entitled “The King & The Emperor.” (https://youtu.be/hG6I4GXHU0s)
