...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
By: Alex Williams, MMATorch Contributor In an interview with DreamFighters.com, Fedor Emelianenko says that he and his management want to meet with Dana White "in person" in June to discuss a fight between Fedor and Brock Lesnar. Fedor acknowledges that he has another fight to fulfill in his contract with Affliction first.
Williams' Analysis: I assume that Fedor would be interested in fighting Frank Mir if Mir defeats Lesnar in May. This would be the first time that Fedor and Dana had met each other. In terms of working out a deal for Fedor to come to the UFC, that's a good thing. If Fedor and his management team still have the same ludicrous demand, though, that M-1 (Fedor's management team's fight organization) should get to co-promote the event with the UFC, then there's no way a contract gets signed.
