Enae Volare MezzoERA

ERA – Enae Volare Mezzo (Remix) (Official Video)

Fedor Emelianenko, the great fighter universally recognized as the strongest man in the world.

He was the champion during PRIDE’s heyday—a mixed martial artist who racked up win after win with overwhelming striking power and incredible core strength.

By the way, do younger fans today know he was called the “Last Emperor”? The way he secured mount and rained down punches with a blank expression was truly imperial.

The track “Enae Volare Mezzo” perfectly matches his image with its serious, icy tone.
