Fedor Emelianenko vs Brock Lesnar: UFC is hopeful

With Brock Lesnar becoming the heavyweight champion of the UFC Saturday night at UFC 100, speculation is now mounting on a Fedor Emelianenko vs Brock Lesnar bout and the UFC is hopeful.

Fedor Emelianenko is considered by many publications to be the best heavyweight MMA fighter in the world, however so far he hasn’t fought in the UFC due to contractual disagreements.

“This whole Fedor thing has been going on and on and on,” UFC President Dana White said Saturday night. “I keep saying this and that about him and he keeps waiting. Eventually, Fedor’s going to be here. I want Fedor. I want him to come to the UFC and everything else.”

Fedor is off contract with Affliction after his scheduled fight August 1.
