White rules out Fedor move

UFC President Dana White insists they are no longer interested in signing Russian MMA heavyweight star Fedor Emelianenko.

Fedor suffered a defeat to Fabricio Werdum at an Strikeforce show last Saturday night.

“I’m not interested,” White said after a UFC 116 press conference.

“Listen, how many times have you seen us sign a guy when he just loses in another promotion, you know? Oh, the guy just lost in Strikeforce, let’s sign him!”

“Back in the day, in 2005 and before that, he was beating some great guys who were in their prime and was nasty, but to prove yourself the best in the world, you have to fight the best consistently,” he added.
