White ready to make a deal with Fedor
By Hakon on August 2, 2009
UFC president Dana White has admitted that he is ready to make a deal with Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko.
But White admits it will be hard to agree a deal as the UFC will be forced to co-promote with M-1 in order to get Fedor at their events.
“I’m ready to make a deal,” White stated. “If they want to make a deal, they can call me right now. We want this. I want this so badly you guys don’t even know. Lorenzo [Fertitta, UFC co-owner] and I were together all week talking with them.
“I was so confident we were going to get this done. I went in (to the negotiations) with the mindset that we were going to get this done. I did everything I could to try and sign Fedor. They just don’t want to do a deal.”
