Despite losing to Fabricio Werdum many consider Fedor Emelianenko the number one heavyweight in the world and many fans were wondering if the recent loss would force The Last Emperor to consider retirement. It seems that Fedor has dismissed those thoughts and would prefer to fight 4-6 more times , though he doesn’t have any immediate interest in the UFC. Fedor made the statement during the M-1 Americas Selection tournament semi-finals:
“For now M-1 Global works with Strikeforce and we are concentrating on that, the contract is not over yet. So for now we don’t have any interest in the UFC. So far I feel very comfortable fighting, very good with my fighting, and I’m planning of fighting as long as I can physically. As far and I’m concerned we should discuss the possibility of signing another contract for 4-6 fights.”
One has to think that Strikeforce will want to keep Fedor in their heavyweight roster which includes Alistair Overeem, Fabricio Werdum, Antonio Silva, and Bobby Lashley. While nothing has been signed, and there’s no word on who Fedor will fight next expect to see Fedor in action before the end of the year.
