M-1 Global President and Fedor Emelianenko’s Manager Vadim Finkelstein released a statement Monday on M-1Global.com to address the UFC negotiation rumors.

He said:

“Today I heard the rumors of me allegedly stating on my twitter account that we are negotiating with the UFC. I want to state that there are no talks with the UFC whatsoever. Our partner in the USA is STRIKEFORCE, we are happy to cooperate with STRIKEFORCE. Fedor (Emelianenko) and Gegard (Mousasi) fight there and they are quite happy with the conditions and how they are treated with respect there. Finally, I don’t have any account on Twitter. The account that ignited the rumors is false. Our attorneys are already aware of the situation and shortly this fake account will be deleted.”

It looks like everyone will have to wait until Emelianenko fullfills his three-fight contract with Strikeforce to possibly see him negotiate with the UFC again.
