RIO DE JANEIRO -- Will Fedor Emelianenko sign with the UFC? If he does, heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum would gladly welcome him to the Octagon.
Fresh off a submission win over Cain Velasquez in Mexico City, Werdum still doesn’t know who will get the first crack at his belt, and a rematch against the former PRIDE heavyweight star isn’t off the table.
Emelianenko hasn’t fought since a quick win over Pedro Rizzo in 2012, when he announced his retirement from the sport, but recently admitted he’s interested in fighting again.
