The UFC and top heavyweight fighter Fedor Emelianenko are still negotiating for a deal that would bring the former PRIDE champion to the octagon, but reports that the Russian fighter turned down a six-fight deal worth up to $30 million are not true.
That’s the word from Emelianenko’s manager, M-1 Global co-owner and president Vadim Finkelchtein.
Finkelchtein today issued a statement and hinted that any “leaks” of information about the negotiations are coming from the UFC’s side.
