It is being reported that Fedor Emelianenko is going to sign with the UFC, and will fight Brock Lesnar. This could be one hell of a fight!

Phew! I wasn't sure that there were any other MMA fans on the site! Where I live, MMA is huge for no good reason. Most people spend days on end on Fight Forum talking about rumors and shit, but this fight is going to be nuts. Its just too soon, because I think Fedor will lose. I know he is the best in the world, but I'm thoroughly convinced at this point that in MMA, size doesn't matter, until it matters. Lesnar literally is the fucking hulk, or Hercules son, or something. There are so many other fights I want to see him have though. He needs to fight Cheick Congo, Gabriel Gonzaga, Nogueria, etc.

Brock is a beast, but Fedor only has one loss, and it was because he was bleeding - he was still winning the fight though! I think it could go either way. It's going to be crazy.

Do you know if the contract is for just one fight, or a multi fight deal, or even a contract for a specific time period?

They are talking like he's facing Brock, but I don't know if it's for the title or what, so I'm not sure if it's for so many fights, or just this one. Either way, it's going to make them some money.

I would go on Fight Forum, but I just can't stand the people on it, so I get my MMA news from word of mouth.

I didn't know that there were actually ANY MMA fans in FCW! Wow, I think Lesnar's ass is grass when it comes to Fedor but, you never know, miracles happen...Nogueria vs. Lesnar...DAMN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

If Lesnar beat Fedor I wouldn't call it a "miracle". Brock knows what he's doing in there. So does Fedor. Although Fedor has experience, Brock is freaking strong as hell, and has paint cans for fists. It should be good.

Fedor's not coming to UFC. His managers want M1 to co-promote with UFC but Dana White doesn't want to.

I used to be really into UFC when I had my MMA clothing line, but now I watch every now and again, or if there is a big fight.

You may notice in another post I mentioned how Dana White had been talking fedor down for years, and was close to signing him. Fedor did an interview in like '05 where he criticized the UFC mainstreaming the sport and a large part of the fan base being fad fans. Dana downplays anyone not in UFC even though a lot of them have legit reasons for not going there. He's becoming known as the Vince McMahon of MMA, and that isn't a good thing.
Mark my words, the die hard fans of MMA are demanding Fedor in the UFC. He will be there. The only question is, will it be on the downward stretch of his carreer. Right now Fedor would kill Brock. Anyone who has watched the sport for a while knows this. Quote me now "If ever they meet, Fedor will own Brock."
