Andrei Arlovski on Fedor Emelianenko Comeback: “He is Who I Want to Take on Next”

Andrei Arlovski

By FCF Staff

Not long after it’s been revealed that Fedor Emelianenko is planning a comeback, Andrei Arlovski has proclaimed he wants a rematch with “The Last Emperor.”

On Tuesday, Emelianenko captured headlines, after it was reported that the former PRIDE heavyweight champ intends to return to the cage.

In a follow up post on his official site, here is what Arlovski had to say about the news:

If Fedor is coming back, he should come back to the best MMA organization in the world and UFC is that! I have always sought out to right the wrong in my career and have been very successful so far. He is who I want to take on next!

That’s the fight everyone wants to see right now and I want to deliver what my fans want!!

Arlovski and Fedor fought at an Afflication card in 2009, and after taking some hard shots early on, the latter won the fight via first round, knockout. Most recently, Arlovski stopped Travis Browne in May.

Fedor, meanwhile, hasn’t fought since 2012 when he KO’d Pedro Rizzo.
