The latest rumors suggest not only has he agreed to fight in the UFC, but that his contract is the highest paid for any fighter in MMA history.
According to MMA Scoops the latest RUMOR going around is that PRIDE Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko has reached an agreement with the UFC and is on his way back to Russia to hopefully seal the deal.
It’s being rumored that the UFC has offered Fedor $2 million per fight on a four fight contract, and will also let him compete in Russia as part of his deal.
If this is true then this is HUGE news not only for the UFC, but for fans of MMA in general as we’ll finally get to see who is the undisputed Heavyweight Champion between the undefeated Fedor Emelianenko, and “The Natural” Randy Couture and the long awaited “MMA Superbowl” that’s been talked about for some time. However, since nothing is confirmed take this with a grain of salt for now.
