Now that contracts have been signed and announcements have been made, we can officially start looking forward to seeing Fedor Emelianenko and Dan Henderson go at it later this summer.  Sure, there’s no title on the line, and sure, there’s not much of anything on the line other than bragging rights, but according to a memo sent out to all MMA media and bloggers back in 2003, we are required to be excited anytime Fedor is set to fight, even if there are exactly zero fights announced for the rest of the card.

The promo trailer is a tried and true tool used to raise excitement for future matches, and it’s one tool that amateurs — by which we mean unpaid fans — usually outshine the pros.  This is because, just like Mom’s cooking and anything that is still produced by hand, it’s made with love.  Watch this video of Fedor and Henderson during their respective ups and downs over the past decade, and tell us you can’t feel the love.  It’s that fuzzy feeling you get when the music syncs up just right and you feel tempted to jump up and fist pump.

Whatever you do, don’t jump out of your seat and fist pump at work! Everyone in the cubicle farm will see you, and you’re supposed to be working extra hard to make up for slacking off since last Wednesday.  Just watch quietly and feel the love.  Sure, it may feel like you’re just watching Fedor knock Brett Rogers‘ face sideways, but believe us:  it’s love.
