Fedor Emelianenko is Sick of Dana White's Remarks

Several times since failing to sign heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko, UFC president Dana White has said to anyone who will listen that Fedor is truly a 'paper champion.' Fedor is criticized for not having fought true "top" talent for years. His last two fights were against giant Hong Man Choi and Jeremy Horn...(Horn was doing well in the fight until Fedor used the ropes in a quick fight).

White believes the fighters in the UFC are better and would beat Fedor. Fedor wrote a short letter and sent it to MMA Junkie.

Quote:
"Ever since the UFC tried — and failed — to sign Emelianenko, White has continually blasted Emelianenko, questioning his fighting ability, world ranking and his quality of opponents. In an October 2007 press conference, White even went as far as saying that Emelianenko “sucks” and that “Fedor isn’t even a top-five heavyweight let alone (ranked) top pound-for-pound (fighter)."

Fedor:

My last fight in Japan proved that I’m ready to fight anybody with any height advantage, skillset or experience. I have fought and still wish 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, people don’t want to listen 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.
Dana White always will look like a little kid when he publicly berates someone. But, he's on the top spot. So he can pretty much do what he wants.
