– Fedor Emelianenko recently spoke with lenta.ru, and spoke about his decision to fight for Bellator and not the UFC…

“We had been negotiating with several organizations, but opted for Bellator, as the head of the organization, Scott Coker – an honest man, honest, we already have experience with. We were interested in his proposal. “Yes, this option was there,” Fedor added. “I was offered a [contract] from UFC, but it did not suit me. We have had disagreements, in particular about matters of promotion.”
