MMA heavyweight Alexander Emelianenko is sure that his illustrious brother Fedor did not move to the UFC in his time for fear of losing.

"Dana White wanted to get Fedor into the UFC to get him beaten there. There was no commitment. He just didn't want to get into the UFC because there were very serious opponents. He had a 100 percent chance of losing there. Like what happened in the Werdum fight. Came out so cocky - and got caught in a triangle, knocked out.

"There he was offered good money, money killed him. I don't know why he turned it down... Fear. Just out of fear of losing. He was going undefeated then," said Emelianenko on the Hustle MMA podcast.

Emelianenko Jr. also said he was ready to fight his brother.
