For years MMA fans have wanted to see what would happen if the legendary Fedor Emelianenko had competed against the heavyweight contenders in the UFC. When the former PRIDE Heavyweight king signed with upstart Japanese promotion Rizin FF in late 2015, it seemed like that door was shut forever. However, according to “The Last Emporer” himself, the possibility still exists, and is something he would like to see happen.
Fedor spoke with EPIC MMA recently and claimed that the “doors are open” for him to possibly fight in the Octagon one day.
“I have nothing to prove, but I want to fight the best of the best and would like to fight UFC champion Fabricio Werdum,” Fedor said during the interview, which you can watch above. “I have been asked about the UFC a lot. Our doors are open and we are talking about it,” he continued. “Maybe it will happen in the future.”
Emelianenko added, “I would like to have a rematch against Fabricio Werdum. I’ve told the UFC many times that I want and would accept that fight.”
