Ex-manager says he'd like to see Fedor Emelianenko fight the best in the world in the UFC

Fedor Emelianenko announced his return to MMA last week and there has been rampant speculation as to where he'll end up.

Will it be the UFC? Or Bellator, which has a business relationship with Emelianenko already? Even World Series of Fighting has thrown its hat in the ring. There's also the possibility Emelianenko stays home in Russia and competes for M-1.

On a personal level, though, Vadim Finkelchtein, Emelianenko's former longtime manager, would be pleased to see "The Last Emperor" in a cage with the best fighters in the world, he told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.
