Fedor arm-barring Hong Man Choi at the Yarennoka! NYE show in Japan.
Here's what I took to be the most interesting answer out of an interview on M-1 Global's Web site with Vadim Finkelstein, Fedor Emelianenko's manager:
Who will be Fedor’s next opponent and when the fight will take place?
Vadim: Now I can only confirm that Fedor’s next fight is scheduled to take place in the USA. More detailes in a couple of weeks.
Want more? Ok, how 'bout this recent interview with Randy Couture from mmafightline.com:
Couture On Whether Or Not Fighting Fedor Is The Only Fight He Wants:
At this stage of things, yes that is the only fight I want. I think that if that fight doesn’t happen then you will see me retire. I have been competing not to win titles, but purely for the love of competition and fighting guys that I thought were interesting to fight. Out of all the guys out there right now Fedor is the guy I want to fight. Win or lose I’ll probably retire after that fight and focus on all of that other stuff. At 44 right now, I’ll be 45 when that fight happens, that will be the best fight in my opinion to go out on either way.
Couture On His Recent Reluctance To Speak About The Situation Between He And The UFC:
I didn’t really want to do any interviews that would inflame the situation or prevent me from settling with the UFC in a positive way. But the ground work has kind of been laid and now the situation is I’m not really going to settle with the UFC so it doesn’t matter. People are getting the word now though, but it’s all good.
