Fedor inks deal with UFC?

The L.A. Times is quoting an unnamed source claiming that Fedor Emelianenko has signed a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The story goes on to state that it’s expected UFC president Dana White will announce the deal at a Friday press conference. Unless Fedor beats him to the punch since he has a press conference scheduled for Wednesday in Anaheim, CA. (the L.A. Times makes no mention of this presser).

Unnamed source? Hate those. But the deal has been all but inevitable since Affliction folded last week. Now we can start tearing apart the Fedor vs. Brock Lesnar heavyweight bout that White has always said would be the Russian’s first fight in the UFC. So, who’s gonna win? Well, besides the fans who have been clamoring to see Fedor in the UFC for years.
