Fedor Re-Negotiating With the UFC

by Damian Sarcuni


According to MMA fightline, Fedor Emelianenko's management has re-opened negotiations with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Their goal remains to set up a one-time fight between Fedor (27-1) and Randy Couture (16-8) that would take place inside the UFC. In order to make this happen, Couture would have to drop his current lawsuit against the UFC.

Couture has previously stated that a bout against Emelianenko is the only fight that he is interested in at this time. It should also be mentioned, however, that the UFC is rarely interested in signing fighters for one-fight contracts, and that this will likely be a detrimental factor in negotiations.
