Prior to this past Saturday's UFC 100 cases, which is an underground movement and hold-called mixed martial arts fans attend the show start "Fedor!" chants throughout the night.
The idea was, of course, that the UFC executives are well aware of how fans of Fedor Emelianenko, world ranking in the top-heavy, without a doubt the greatest MMA fighter in the division of history, the fight in the octagon.
Songs never heard, but after 100 UFC, UFC president Dana White said he wants Emelianenko in the UFC have been, and that the fight with Brock Lesnar is imminent.
Lesnar, former World Wrestling Entertainment superstar and NCAA Division I national champion game, picked up his third victory and the first UFC title defense with a dominant TKO secondary interim holder Frank Mir at UFC 100 main event.
Lesnar to the current strip victory over Heath Herring, the winner of Randy Couture and Mir hours, many of them focusing on possible future opponents seemingly invincible and ground pound machines.
Emelianenko, a former long-time PRIDE-hard boxing champion, is the man to see how many more chances of falling Lesnar. At 30-1 with back-to-back love conquer two former UFC champions (Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski) and 26-0 record (with the non-competition) for the past nine years, many fans are clamoring for the Russian fishing pick up talent in the world of the major fight organizations.
"This Fedor thing has gone on and on and on," White said in the post-UFC 100 press conference. "Eventually, Fedor's going to be here. I want Fedor. I want him to come to the UFC and everything else. "This guy (Brock Lesnar) just won the heavyweight title, and we'll end up getting that deal done. And then we'll do Brock vs. Fedor, and it'll be a huge fight." How soon could we such the fight? "Who knows," White said. "He's obviously contractually obligated to fight (with Affliction). Once that's over, we'll figure it out."
Emelianenko UFC officials met with representatives and more than once. But the meeting very productive and often each side blaming the other for the failure to reach agreement to do. The UFC said Emelianenko requirements were too outrageous, not necessarily in monetary terms (but Emelianenko is that at least 2 million dollars to fight), but for the company, which requires the organization to enter the Russian market as a sales manager with Emelianenko, Vadim Finkelchtein . Emelianenko says UFC contract conditions are too restrictive, and without compensation, such as partners and managed competition to combat all aspects of their careers.
Concessions must be, and often provide short-White brought the possibility of entrepreneurship, which will be implemented. In fact, white, often criticized by hunting, which leads to Emelianenko "sucks", while the sardonic recent previous opponents as kick boxer Hong Man Choi and Matt Lindland, who normally fights at middle weight.
But White tune has changed, and Saturday, he spoke more definitively about the future of the UFC fighter.
Of course, that future could depend Emelianenko next fight on 1 August "condition" Trilogy. "My Emelianenko faces another former UFC champion, Josh Barnett, which includes many of the division three or four.
Barnett, but do not expect to receive the same call for the UFC, that knocks Emelianenko.
Why?
"No one's beating down my door to get Barnett," White said.
