Fedor: Probability is "very high" I will sign with UFC

[Deleted member 501827]

I think its actually gonna happen maybe late this year or next Fedor will be fighting in the UFC.

Do you think he will sign with the UFC and who should he fight first? Should he get a title fight with Werdum right away?

Like it's been that last ten years or so.

I'll believe it when I see it.

As much as I am not a fan of Fedor, for some unknown reason (he is fun to hate on), the UFC needs more well rounded heavies. Hope this is true. 3,386,051 time he has been reported to sign is the charm I guess....

Fedor will never fight in UFC

I said this about 7-8 years ago as well, prove me wrong

 

[lomecas]

Werdum would rip Fedor's arm off, it would be a huge step up in competition (from Singh and Maldonado to Werdum? Really?).
He has to take at least a no-title fight with a mid-level opponent.

I wish Fedor wasn't such a cocktease.

 

[FadeLess]

Whatever happens .. ill support Fedor
Thanks for the news

 

[Concrete Whale]

If he looks good against Maldonado why shouldn't it happen.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Yeah right Fedor. I'll believe it when I see him weigh in before his first UFC fight.

 

[Grenz]

Even if it happens (which I doubt), I'm not really excited about this news in 2016. Huge Fedor fan here, but he should probably stay retired or continue to fight guys like Maldonado. He didn't have another title run in him in 2010 and I don't think that anything has changed for the better since then unfortunately.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

I'll believe it when he is standing in the octagon.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Years ago, I would've been excited.
Then they teased it for like a decade
Now I doubt I could care any less.

 

[Area809]

I lost all optimism with this 6 years ago or whenever they were in negotiations before. But if it does happen, Werdum wants to fight him again. So fuck it--give him the title shot. I give Fedor a better shot at competing in today's heavyweight division than the one from 6 years ago. You don't have the Uberreem, Brock or Carwin cutting down to 265 lbs anymore.

 

[The Accuser]

WTF Fedor is fighting LHW journeyman Maldonado now? After destroying the almighty Singh? What a joke! rofl

 

[fractal]

Might as well sign Mark Coleman. They can have a rematch.

 

[Was at Pride GP 2000]

He's now McGregoring Rizin for more money.

 

[TjDillashawCombo]

Francis Ngannou

 

[ralphus1]

Makes too much money fighting cans in Japan. Has no name recognition with this generation of MMA fans. No way Dana pays him what he wants.

Even at this stage I think he could potentially be UFC HW champ.
