After years of big cash offers and endless negotiations, UFC president Dana White has gone public and responded to M-1’s recent claims that Fedor will fight Lesnar for free in Russia. Dana has called M-1’s bluff, and said he’ll make the deal for UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar to fight WAMMA heavyweight champ Fedor Emelianenko for free. In a recent interview with MMAJunkie, Dana White talks about M-1’s proposal.

They’ll do the fight for free? That’s [expletive] weird because I offered them millions of dollars to take the fight and he didn’t take it. Now [Emelianenko] wants to fight for free? When and where? I’d love him to fight for free. I’ll make that [expletive] fight right now for free. Let’s do it.”

“That’s funny that they say they’ll do it for free now when they were dealing with us and negotiating with us they wanted 50 percent of our business. They wanted 50 percent of our business to do that fight, but now they’ll do it for free? You don’t think I want to make that fight? Of course I want to make that fight. But it takes two people to make a deal, not one guy.”

“We offered [Emelianenko] lots of money – so much money that it caused lots of [expletive] with our other fighters. That’s how much money we offered him. And guess what he said. ‘No, we want 50 percent of your business.’ That’s some Russian strong-arm [expletive]. They can get away with that [expletive] out in Russia to the baker that works down the street. They’re not coming to America and doing that. If Fedor wants to fight the best in the world, he can call right now. We can [expletive] cut a deal right this second, and we can do it.”

It remains to be seen whether or not both sides will come together and complete a deal for UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar to fight WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko. But with recent claims that Brock Lesnar has only been operating at 60% efficiency, a 100% Brock could be the first man to take out “The Last Emperor”.
