Fedor Emelianenko Eyes Brock Lesnar, Not Couture
|
It has been reported that Fedor loves feeding Geese while wearing the ever-so-stylish “tube socks and flip flops.”
It has also been reported that Fedor is seeking to challenge Brock Lesnar in a joint event between the UFC, M-1 and Affliction promotions. He has said that he never really wanted to fight Randy Couture because he had a sort of emotional attachment to him and doesn’t like to fight people like that. He does want to fight Brock Lesnar though and prove once and for all that he is the best fighter in the world. This will be yet another attempt at negotiation between Fedor’s management and the UFC’s, which has failed numerous times before.
Hopefully Dana White can put his pride aside and make this contract happen even if he has to make some exceptions to the rules because this is a fight that every fan wants to see, especially after Brock’s statement of a knockout against Randy Couture at UFC 91. Fedor has a fight lined up vs. Andrei Arlovski in January at Affliction 2 “Day of Reckoning.”
In his statement of why he wants to fight Lesnar he said:
“I would choose Lesnar, mainly for the reason I mentioned before. I’m very sympathetic to Randy. We hung out together. We got to know each other. I have a lot of warm feelings toward him. Based on that, if I had my choice without any outside forces involved, I would choose Lesnar.”
Please don’t forget to check back in December for the UFC 92 results and fight card as well.
