September 12, 2016 | Posted by Joseph Lee

Russian website izvestia.ru (via Bloody Elbow) reports that Fedor Emelianenko has been offered $2 million to fight at Rizin Fighting Federation’s New Year’s Eve show on December 31. It’s believed that Wanderlei Silva could be his opponent.

Fedor previously said he was planning to compete one more time this year and was looking at offers from a variety of promotions. The relationship between Fedor and RIZIN went south after he joined the EFN 50 card against Fabio Maldonado. The Russian MMA Union, which Fedor is the president of, hired the officials for the show. He’s currently with Fedor Team in Stary Oskol for a training camp.
