Dana White explains why Fedor Emelianenko never came to the UFC

UFC president Dana White has offered an explanation for why legendary Russian heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko never signed with the UFC during his prime years. White revealed the longstanding contractual and negotiation issues that prevented what many fans considered a dream matchup from ever materializing under the UFC banner. Fedor, widely regarded as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, instead competed for rival promotions throughout much of his career.
