Fedor Not A Fan Of The UFC

fedor emelianenko iiiDuring Friday’s ‘Strikeforce and M-1 Global’ conference call with top ranked heavyweight and Strikeforce fighter, Fedor Emelianenko, admitted that he doesn’t watch the UFC because he finds there is a lot of “negativity” involved with the events.

“I’m not a fan of watching their fights,” Emelianenko said. “I’ve seen what seems to be a negativity involved in a lot of their shows.”

“I think it’s a combination in some ways of how the fights are presented and the manner they are presented,” Emelianenko said. “Also, in some ways, the behavior of a lot of fighters in the UFC takes away from the sport.”

When asked which two upcoming heavyweight fights were more relevant to the sport of mma, the UFC’s Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin, or his own fight against Fabricio Werdum, Fedor naturally leaned towards his bout.

“I think both fights are very important because you’ve got four world class heavyweights in the top ten of their sport,” Emelianenko said. “But I’m not a UFC fan. I would invite all the fans to watch our fight, which I believe is the more important one.”
