M-1 Global's Vadim Finkelstein Talks About Fedor Emelianenko Potentially Signing With

**Priest** · 03-13-2010, 06:02 PM

It depends on UFC. We would like to cooperate with them. Everything depends on them, their diplomacy. It would be possible if they are flexible... I don't want to compete with UFC, I want to co-operate with them. I think it could be a winning solution for everybody - for us, for them, and for MMA fans.

That's his character, [Dana White] just loves to call names. He didn't say bad things about M-1 only, there were a lot of situations where he was harsh. It makes me glad when Dana White talks about us. I respect the UFC, they've done a lot for the development of MMA, so I can pardon them such attacks. We respect him and let him grumble.

That would be awesome if he signed with UFC.

The way things are going between M-1 and Strikeforce, i wouldn't be at all surprised to see fedor jump ship once he fulfills his contractual obligations.

It would be dope. It'd allow the people to see just how good dude is, especially when UFC promote Mir to be one of the best HW's and Fedor would destroy him haha
