President of M-1 Global, Vadim Finkelstein’s comment to UFC president Dana White’s statement that Fedor Emelianenko was to fight Brock Lesnar in 2012, but cancelled in the last moment;

“There was an offer”, said Finkelstein, the former manager of Emelianenko to Gazeta.ru. “But Fedor, and everything depended on his decision, did not agree and decided not to continue his career.

The fight, in fact, would have been very interesting, but Fedor wished to retire. Maybe there would have been a fight in the UFC tournament. I’ve never been against Fedor fighting in the UFC.

White says Fedor declined the fight because of his father’s death? –Fedor never wanted this fight. Like I said, he received an offer, but by the time he retired.”

I find it funny that even after Fedor has retired Dana and Vadim are finding new ways to butt heads.

He knew he was finished by that time. He probably would have beat Brock, because Brock was more washed up then Fedor.

the fight would have been 2 years too late. i would have favored fedor to win tho just because he's a way more complete mixed martial artist

also, UFC needs to learn from this and start booking fights when they make sense!

Brock would have just curled up in the fetal position and yelled to the refs against Fedor.

the fight would go like this, Brock runs towards Fedor, shoots and drives him back into the cage, pulls him down, pounds on him for about 2-3 minutes until Fedor taps to strikes

Vadim Finkelstein - one of the few guys in the MMA business even more full of it than Dana White.

¿When fedor has ever tapped? or be even near TO...

he got GnP by silva, rogers, in PRIDE also got rocket a few times... never quit... never complain or trash talk... never say nothing about ref.... so keep it real...

The real superfight was Randy v Fedor about 8 years ago or so. Brock v Fedor was cool too I guess.
