Quote of the Day: Fedor Emelianenko Will Consider Offers From UFC After Two Strikeforce Fights

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

I did not want to offend the UFC in any way. What I meant is, I don’t like to watch fights in general. My main concern is what kind of culture I bring, myself.

…

It has always been for me that some fighters would appear and people would want to see me in matches against these fighters. That will always happen. As for the UFC, when my contract with Strikeforce is over – I have two fights left on my contract – the UFC will have the time and the opportunity to prepare and offer a contract that may be interesting to me.
