Fedor Emelianenko's open letter on Dana White statements and situation with Randy Couture

Fedor Emelianenko on Dana White's statements and situation with Randy ‘The Natural’ Couture.

Numerous times I have read mr. White’s statements on Internet concerning myself. In my opinion, allowing yourself to say those things is not a sign of a gentleman or a grown man at all! If he candidly wants to prove himself right then let my fight with Randy happen or let me face the reigning UFC champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. In the future I wouldn’t want to hear those unfounded statements in my address ever again.

My last fight in Japan proved once again that I’m ready to fight anybody with any size advantage, skill set or experience. I have fought and always want to fight the best athletes. The Randy fight is my goal number one right now, he’s a great fighter and this is a very unfortunate situation when too strict and one-sided UFC contracts don’t let this fight happen.

The whole world is eager to see me fight your champions, instead of listening to your press-conferences. I’m signed with M-1 Global and this promotion is ready to organize such fights under our banner or in co-promoted events.

I guess it's time when even such a calm person as Fedor is, starts to be fed up with all the shit Dana White speaks.

I would actually pay even more for the Dana White vs Fedor Emelianenko fight (MMA, boxing, whatever) than for the Fedor's fight against Tim Sylvia!

I wonder, what kind of response will Dana White give. I am sure it will be something like "Fedor shouldn't talk these kind of things. If he wanted to fight the best - he should have signed with the UFC. But now he is just ducking the competition".
