Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos reacted to the statement Khabiba Nurmagomedova that in the event of a victory over Yorgan De Castro at EFC 47, the Brazilian could get a fight with Fedor Emelianenko.
“I think it will be worse for Yorgan De Castro after this announcement because I will be even more motivated to put on a good performance.
I am a longtime fan of Fedor. And I, like Khabib, consider him the greatest. His time was magical. He fought big names all the time. At that time, I had not even performed yet. When I trained with famous fighters, I still dreamed of meeting Fedor. And the most significant goal that I want to get is the fight with Fedor. Hearing this from Khabib is just incredible,” Dos Santos said at a press conference before EFC 47.
Dos Santos will face De Castro on May 20 at EFC 47 in Miami.
