During a Q&A at a youth forum , Fedor Emelianenko answered a question about who he would like to fight in his first fight back in three years. He wants another shot at Fabricio Werdum, the UFC heavyweight champion.
Fedor’s manager Vadim Finkelstein has revealed to Submission Radio that he thinks that the UFC has a big chance to sign Emelianenko.
Fedor officially retired from MMA in 2012. He is now 38 years old and has been working for the past 3 years with the Russian ministry and has been in charge of developing MMA in Russia.
Fedor is looking in great shape:
Werdum’s Strikeforce victory against Fedor was one the biggest upsets in MMA history. It broke a 10 year unbeaten run for Fedor. After the Werdum bout, Fedor would go on to lose his next two fights. He then left the American promotion and went on to win his next three fight before retiring.
