Fedor Emelianenko: “Fight with Lesnar interests me”

The man considered the best heavyweight on the planet, Fedor Emelianenko, has said it’s not only Randy Couture that he has on his radar, UFC superstar, Brock Lesnar is also in the frame.

When asked by RawVegas.tv about what he thought about Lesnar’s last fight and a potential opponent in the future, Fedor said: “I like Brock Lesnar very much. I haven’t seen too much of his fights, but I enjoyed seeing what I saw. I see him very strong physically and someone who has a lot of potential and a very bright future in the sport. It’s definitely a fight that would be interesting to me and a fight I would like to have and he would defiantly be a very worthy opponent.”

This is an interesting development on the Fedor front, with Lesnar seemingly impressing him greatly with his demolition of Heath Herring at UFC 87. Could this be lined up by UFC management as a potential second fight of a multi fight deal, designed to lure not only Fedor to the UFC, but set up the much anticipated match between him and Randy Couture?
