"It's Time For the Main Event of the Evening!"

Everyone had to sweat the desert heat on their way in to the Rio today, but there are a couple of "Icemen" here today who hope to put the freeze on their fellow opponents.

Immediately after he found his seat, we spotted Teddy "The Iceman" Monroe, but he may have some competition that is more fierce than he was prepared for.

Over in the ESPN Featured Table area, another man of the cold, Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell of UFC fame is looking to put his table in a headlock.

We're not sure who would win in a cage fight between the two Icemen, but we know who would announce it. Just a couple tables over from Teddy sits "the veteran voice of the octagon," Bruce Buffer, the main ring announcer of UFC. In the words of Buffer, "We are liiiiiiiive" here in the Amazon Room and are keenly interested in how these three players in particular will fare.
