Can't speak for Hitler, but dang it ... I WANT FEDOR EMELIANENKO IN THE UFC!!!
The man is incredible. He has absolutely dismantled one former UFC champion after another. He's beaten all comers. But nobody will really know how good he really is unless and until he takes on the UFC champion. Best bet currently? That will likely be Brock Lesnar. Everyone has wanted to see Couture vs Emelianenko for ages and I think it would be an interesting fight. The trouble with Lesnar is that he's so strong and fast that he doesn't realize his own mistakes when he makes them. Fedor will submit him on one of those mistakes if Lesnar's not a lot more careful. Frank Mir would be a compelling match up for Fedor as well, probably more so than any other fighter in the world right now. We'll see if that ever happens though.
It comes down to this. The list of challenging fights for Fedor outside the UFC is growing thin very quickly. Affliction is built upon Fedor almost exclusively. Andre Arlovski, Tim Sylvia, Josh Barnett, and who know who's next ... all have something in common. They are former UFC heavyweight champions that Affliction wants so they can promote their cash-cow fighter.
What will it take to get this guy into the UFC???
