Title: Fedor Talks UFC Negotiations, Fighting Couture & More
Post by: SinCitysmallGUY on September 26, 2007, 06:39:58 PM
The following is a rough English translation of a recent video interview with PRIDE Heavyweight champion and pound-for-pound king, Fedor Emelianenko:

Q: What is the status of your contract? How are you negotiations with UFC going, what are their demands?
A: I think that Vadim is in a better position to answer these questions. As a far as I know, the contract is still being discussed. There are points that we don’t accept, and there are points that they don’t like. We are working out a compromise.

Q: Did you see CroCop’s and Nogueira’s debut in the UFC?
A: I saw CroCop’s fight, but not Nogueira’s fight. What can I say… As far as I know, Nogueira won, and Crocop lost… I think that CroCop’s got tired psychologically, and this is the source of his troubles.

Q: Do you want to fight in the UFC, and who would you like to fight there?
A: As far as I know, they give me Randy Couture, so there is talk about a match against this fighter. I respect Randy very much. Of course, to be honest, I would not want to fight him because I really admire this fighter, and we could have become friends. Oh well, a fight is a fight, and if they put us against each other, I’ll have to fight him. As far as fighting in the UFC goes, I think I won’t have a lot of problems as far as cage is concerned.
