Dana White, UFC President, confirmed the information that Fedor Emelianenko will be present in the UFC 5 game.
“Yes, Fedor is in the game, and this time we didn’t have to fly to the island. How did it happen? I don't know. I guess he just wanted to be in the game. Or we paid him an obscene amount of money. Either one or the other,” said the functionary.
It is worth noting that during his career Emelyaneno fought in PRIDE FC, RINGS and Bellator, but did not have a single fight in the UFC.
