    The strong rumour going around and provided by several different MMA sources is that Pride Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko has signed a 4 fight deal with the UFC, with a salary of $1.8 million per fight flat, plus bonuses. This is the biggest fee ever paid to any fighter inside the octagon.
    Also should be noted that Dallas Mavericks owner and billionaire Mark Cuban has also been reported to have a major interest in Fedor's services.
    Whether Fedor has signed the UFC contract or not is unknown but the rumours are out there that he has officially signed.
    It is unknown as of yet if Cuban made an offer to Fedor, and if so, what amount of money was offered.
    Fedor also is given permission by the UFC to participate in Russian Sambo tournaments.

    Whups! Sorry, Fedor still has not signed. As of now, Fedor is looking at contracts from other parties. No decision made as of yet.
