UFC president Dana White has been especially coy in recent interviews
when asked to address a potential signing of top heavyweight fighter
Fedor Emelianenko.
White’s patented answer is recent weeks has been framed with a wry smile
and usually consists of a, “I’ve talked to his people more recently
than you would think,” followed with a gaze that suggests he knows far
more than he’s willing to let on.
But Emelianenko’s M-1 Global reps remain steadfast in their denial of
any contact with White and insist that settling their minor differences
with Strikeforce is still goal No. 1.
