Fedors next step

Widely considered the top of the heavyweight division in the world of mixed martial arts, Fedor Emelianenko has many choices as the end of his contract with Affliction comes to an end. One of the many doors that has opened is the chance to fight in the UFC. Dana White has talked with Fedor before, but the heavyweight champ said the conditions were "one sided" and that Dana didn't treat his fighters like people. However, the circumstances have changed. Even though White used to claim that Fedor was overated, he seems to want him in the UFC more than ever now. Some claim that it's a result of UFC's current heavyweight champ, Brock Lesnar's actions at UFC 100. It seems as though White wants somebody to beat Lesnar. If that's the case, there's not a man out there that has a better chance than Fedor. While mma fans everywhere sit in anticipation and have discussions about wether or not the dream match up of Fedor vs. Brock will every really happen, one thing remains true, Fedor has yet his biggest task to date merely weeks away. On August first Fedor has to fight, whom many consider to be his toughest opponent yet, number 2 ranked Josh Barnett. Will the UFC ever be the home of the russian juggernaut? Only time will tell, but until then, we just have to sit back and watch the pound for pound great continue to prove to us that he is, in fact, one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
