Naturally, several of the fighters slated to compete on the card, which is booked for the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Aug. 1, were also in the building. Main event participants Fedor The Last Emperor Emelianenko and Josh The Babyfaced Assassin Barnett, were situated near the podium. And Gegard Mousasi and Renato Babalu Sobral — the two men who will compete in the co-main event — were located nearby.
