Fresh off the heels of UFC 76, Dana White held a press conference regarding the state of the UFC. Dana fielded questions regarding the acquisition of the hottest MMA free agent on the market: Pride champion Fedor Emelianenko
“I think that Fedor, right now, the word is he wants to fight in this Sambo event, but I won’t let him fight in it if he’s with us. I think he’s going to wait until he fights in this thing in October, November, and we’ll probably come to a deal with him at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.”
“I’m very positive we’re going to end up with him. It would be crazy for him to fight anywhere else other than the UFC.”
White and the UFC have big plans for Emelianenko if they can secure the deal. “What we’d want to do is, we’d want to know who is the best heavyweight in the world. So if we sign Fedor, Fedor comes right in and fights Randy Couture for the title,” stated White.
