And one of those questions was: “If UFC President Dana White booked Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar in 2009, who would have won?” To which he answered, “Obviously I’m very biased when answering this question, but I’m going with Brock Lesnar. Brock wanted the fight. I tried to make the fight. We offered Fedor Emelianenko an ungodly amount of money and they didn’t want the fight. I don’t know what to tell you.”
