Fedor Emelianenko is receiving support from an unlikely source in his upcoming fight against Brett Rogers - UFC President Dana White. White stated that he still hopes the Russian heavyweight fights in the UFC one day with an untarnished record.

"The reality is, I hope that Buck (Brett) Rogers doesn't knock him out," White admitted. "Because I want to get Fedor in the UFC, I want to see him fight Brock Lesnar.”

White attempted to sign Fedor in late July while the fighter was a free agent, but Fedor opted to sign with Strikeforce instead. White holds out hope that he will join the UFC in the future. However, he thinks Fedor may receive his first KO loss at the hands of Rogers.

“He's fighting a dangerous guy," White noted. "I don't think he's (Fedor) that good, I think he's overrated and I think he might get knocked out."

Fedor vs. Brett Rogers will air on CBS on November 7.

Calling him overrated and saying he isn't "that good" probably isn't going to persuade Fedor to fight in the UFC once his deal with M-1 is up.

That being said, I don't really care if Fedor fights in the UFC or not. Quite frankly, that ship of interest for me sailed when he took the more comfortable route and joined StikeForce instead.

Even more frankly, Fedor will likely re-sign with M-1 once his contract is up, so we definitely won't see Fedor in the UFC anyway. Co-promotion isn't happening, as it shouldn't.

Yeah I'm sick of hearing all the Fedor talk. He is definitely taking the easy way out IMO.

I hope Rogers KO's him. I will be watching that fight with all my support by Rogers.

I'm not interested in seeing him in the UFC anyway as I believe Lesnar would wipe him away. Fedor is too small for those monsters.

Fedor is really good. Doesnt matter what we say, he didnt loose yet (except that elbow thing) so his stats say he is very good. But as we all know he has not fought the best since Pride and obviously he wont do it now either. This makes his credebility go down and if anybody has something to proove now its Fedor. If he looses to Rogers he will be the laughingstock and he cant be dumber then that he knows that so Im sure he will put in some extra training.

I would also like to see Rogers win, if not for anything else, to see the comosion hehe. I still do like Fedor though and it wouldnt suprise me if he actually won.

After all this is a great fight and the whole event is starting to look really interesting!
