Fedor Emelianenko interested in rematch with Fabricio Werdum: ‘I would like to fight him’

With Fabricio Werdum now officially a free agent, the former UFC heavyweight champion is looking to join Bellator MMA for a rematch with Fedor Emelianenko, who ‘Vai Cavalo’ submitted to snap ‘The Last Emperor’s’ legendary twenty seven fight win streak at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum in 2010.
