A proposed deal earlier this year fell through much to the irritation of all concerned, particularly Dana White who said he’d offered Fedor huge money to mix it up with the likes of Lesnar, Dos Santos and new champion Cain Velasquez.
FT has tracked down the 34-year-old after plenty of leg work and got you the exclusive. Why didn’t he sign with UFC? Fedor tells me it wasn’t over money at least.
He explained: The terms of the contract were more restrictive than what myself and my management would have liked. I currently have a contract with Strikeforce and prefer to continue that relationship. However in the worlds of sport and business I would never say never.
He added: Nothing has changed since my fight with Werdum. My training remains steady and my life has not changed. The elbow is fine – no problems at all. I’m very much looking forward to a rematch with Werdum.
Fedor says he doesn’t watch much – on Cro Cop: I have not seen his performances in the UFC. I’ve heard he has had mixed results.
I’m not familiar with many of their (UFC) heavyweight fighters but it is commonly accepted in sport that the champion is considered the best.
