Brock Lesnar: Would I Fight Fedor Emelianenko? Absolutely
There was once a time when the MMA fight that fans most dreamed of seeing was between Randy Couture and Fedor Emelianenko, but most fans have now made peace with the idea that Fedor vs. Randy will never happen.
But what about Fedor vs. Brock Lesnar? Lesnar, the UFC heavyweight champion, says he'd be up for it.
In an interview on HDNet's Inside MMA, Lesnar said that while he's been annoyed at times by questions about Fedor, he admires Fedor as a fighter and would love to get a shot at him in the Octagon.
"I have nothing against Fedor. He's a great fighter. Would I ever fight him some day? Absolutely, I would. I keep getting this question, 'You don't like Fedor?' No, I don't have nothing against the guy. There's just nothing to talk about until there's a fight between him and I, and he signs with this organization. Then we can talk."
The problem, of course, is that Fedor has shown no interest in signing with the UFC. So Fedor is probably going to keep fighting for Affliction as long as Affliction is in business, and Lesnar is going to keep fighting in the UFC. I don't think we'll ever see Fedor vs. Lesnar. I'd sure love to see Dana White make it happen, though.
That would be one heluva fight. Lesner would either have to drop a few lbs.(which cant happen) Or Fedor would go up a few( which wont happen). But just imagine it........WOW!!

I would do almost anything to see BL & FE fight. Dana should go all out and make a Fedor vs. Lesnar fight a reality - at all costs and earn back some of the credibility he has little left of.
Never the less I am afraid Dana Whitie has turned into his chump mentor Don King by throwing fights. Why though? So Machita and his gyms can capitalize? So they can put a pretty face on the brutality and keep real men/monsters like Rua in closets?
Dana - it was brutal what you allowed to happen to Rua. Karma buddy.
Unfortunately Mr. Whitie is a child. Especially in terms of the understanding of the truth real men seek.
He is great in business. Just like the hottie C#^t who plays hard to get. She gives better blue balls than anything else that tease could offer or attempt to give.
The UFC is run like a fashion magazine. It is a shame that such a beautiful sport is turning into another sport like volleyball. Thanks Whitie.
Michael James Slattery and I only learned to stand on a board 3 years ago at 38 years old.

I think Brock is hiding behind the UFC, shy should Fedor need to sign with the UFC, Brock certainly isnt a part owner of the company. Why cant Brock chase the champion and fight under Strikeforce/M1?

Why should he? He wants to be a part of the biggest company out there, and that company is UFC.
