By: Sifu Joomla
News on the UFC and Holland based martial arts promotion M-1 Global, opening talks on a possible mega-fight event has recently resurfaced. The much anticipated face-off between World Number 1 MMA pound-for-pound fighter Fedor Emelelianenko against UFC's heavyweight champion superstar wrestler Brock Lesnar and the battle of the most equipped technical styled fighters Gegard Mousasi Vs Lyoto Machida will hopefully have the green light. This event will generate Mixed-martial-arts biggest PPV and ticket revenue. M-1 made name for organizing the renowned "World Cup of MMA" M-1 Challenge, a five man team tournament participated by the worlds best fighters representing their country. UFC on the other hand, has all the best signed fighters under their flag. Dana White, Ultimate fighting Championship president is positive in making this mega-fight happen. Nothing can stop the man until the world's top elite fighters battle inside his octagon. One positive endeavor from White with a big hefty payday. Mega-fights and big pay-per-views. Gegard Mousasi one of M-1 Global's priced fighter, is the current Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champion. Moussasi is a big MMA crowd drawer, he had a very stunning 2009 career after defending his title against ace Judoka Soukudjou and by displaying his top game in Japan's Dynamite event. Moussasi's kickboxing and slick submission will have to deal UFC's karate master Lyoto "the dragon" Machida. Machida's last fight was a controversy. A fight many thought his opponent fellow Brazilian Mauricio Shogun Rua should have won. His last fight maybe a controversy, but once this master of elusive deception enters the octagon an MMA fan will surely have a very technical fight to watch. The bigger the fighter, the bigger the pay.
M-1 Global part owner - World Alliance Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) Undisputed Heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko will have the chance to display greatness by putting a beating on UFC's Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. Lesnar has the strength to nullify technique, he also has the chance to shock the world once he pulls an upset. Emelianenko named number 1 fighter of the decade by Sports Illustrated versus a former WWE superstar will be the biggest money-maker both M-1 and UFC organizations don't want to miss.
Although Emelianenko and Moussasi are signed with M-1 Global's U.S partner - Strikeforce. "It's not that I don't want to talk to M-1. I want to get this done. I want Moussasi, and I want Fedor. I want to do it. And I never say never. They can call me right now, and we can start talking and figure this thing out. I'd love to get Mousasi in here. He should be. He deserves to be." White stated. After Mousasi's interviews saying that he will never be a UFC fighter. The big event will only happen if both promotions agree and when conditions are met. Including M-1 Global co-promoting Fedor Emelianenko's UFC fights.
