Fedor Emelianenko’s manager, Vadim Finkelchtein, has revealed that talks with the UFC are again underway.
UFC president Dana White and Fedor’s management have struggled to see eye to eye on several issues and have failed to agree a deal that would see the Russian fight in the Octagon, in recent years.
“This the moment of truth that the UFC has talked about,” Finkelchtein stated in a recent release issued by his company, M-1 Global.
“Fedor and I are here in the States. If they want to come out and fly here, we are ready to conduct negotiations.”
“Of course, it still doesn’t imply we are ready to accept any conditions they’ll throw at us,” Finkelchtein said.
“We want to talk to the UFC about having Fedor compete against some of their fighters, but only within the framework of co-promotional efforts with M-1 Global.”
