If the stars align and the right situation came up&#8230; you know, Fedor&#8217;s not a cheap ticket. So I don&#8217;t know who&#8217;s going to pay that price right now. Especially considering how things ended for him, so I&#8217;m not sure it will be Viacom or Bellator, which seems like the most logical place. I know there&#8217;s new organizations coming out in Japan in the new year, and he&#8217;s built a huge name there. Maybe they have the pockets for it. I know the UFC would like to get it done, and more than likely I&#8217;m out if that&#8217;s the case.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Reporter Hits On Cris Cyborg During Special Invicta Press Conference!
