Fedor Emelianenko recently revealed that he will be returning to the world of MMA. Fabricio Werdum is one of the fighters who has started actively calling out Fedor for a fight against him. It seems the trend of legendary people returning to a sport is not just limited to the world of professional wrestling. Fedor Emelianenko might also be leaving Bellator for a big name.
Dana White recently to the media at the UFC 267 post-fight press conference, where he made it clear that Fedor Emelianenko is unlikely to ever compete in the UFC because he refused Dana White’s offer in the past.
First of all, I don’t even know Fedor, Fedor doesn’t know me. We met one time, you know, his statement was, ‘I was all about money.’ He should’ve been more about money when we made you that offer and wherever the f*** we were, whatever island that was we were on and he still wouldn’t be fighting at 45 years old.”You know I offered him a deal that he still must lay in bed every night and bum out about. We offered him a deal. We tried to a deal with Fedor. Apparently Fedor doesn’t like me, So, I don’t see it happening.”
Dana White responds to Fedor Emelianenko says he's all about money.
