Vadim Finkelchtein, the manager of WAMMA heavyweight champion, Fedor Emelianenko, has issued a “come and get him” plea to the UFC, saying; “Fedor and I are here in the States. If they want to come out and fly here, we are ready to conduct negotiations.”
Speaking to MMAJunkie.com, Finkelchtein said:
Quote:
“This the moment of truth that the UFC has talked about.”
“We are now with Fedor in the U.S., and we hope to make a decision about his next fight within the next few days. There are many business meetings and negotiations planned with all the major promotions. We will explore the possibility of Fedor fighting (Josh) Barnett and will even look into whether the fight can take place as soon as August (since Barnett has not been suspended).”
“Of course, it still doesn't imply we are ready to accept any conditions they'll throw at us. We want to talk to the UFC about having Fedor compete against some of their fighters, but only within the framework of co-promotional efforts with M-1 Global.”
