Werdum has 'a lot of respect for Fedor', but isn't sure he'll ever be in the UFC

UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum would be all for giving Fedor Emelianenko a rematch, but he also doesn't think that Fedor will ever actually sign with the UFC.

UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum will go down as one of the greatest to ever compete in his division, and one of his defining wins is his 1st round armbar win over the great Fedor Emelianenko in Strikeforce back in 2010. With many fans considering Fedor's cut stoppage loss as not really a loss, this was essentially the first "real" loss of Fedor's illustrious career. Today, Werdum stands as the #1 HW in the world having submitted Cain Velasquez to capture the undisputed title, while Fedor is ready to return to action at the new Rizin FF after three years away from the sport.
