...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
By: Alex Williams, MMATorch Contributor --In explicit and profane terms, Brock Lesnar repeatedly made it clear that he is "tired of hearing about Fedor [Emelianenko]" and that he does not care about anyone fighting Emelianenko as long as the Russian is not a UFC fighter.
--Dana White stated that they are hopeful that they will be able to set-up a multi-week preview series for Couture/Lesnar on Spike TV, ala HBO's "24/7" program for the Floyd Mayweather/Oscar de la Hoya and Mayweather/Ricky Hatton boxing matches.
--To clarify something from my earlier blog entry: Dana made a point out of mentioning that, for obvious legal reasons, the UFC will not talk with Fedor about a fight as long as Fedor is under contract to Affliction
--Dana confirmed that Couture's new contract is for three fights.
--Dana said that if Fedor wants to sign with the UFC and fight for the title, he will need a few wins under his belt first. Um, sure.
