The greatest fighter of all time has reportedly, finally signed with the UFC. It was the promotion's inability to sign "The Last Emperor" that made Lesnar walk away from the sport originally. At the time, Emelianenko had opted to retire after a final three-fight win streak overseas, and the death of his father. When Dana White told Lesnar that Fedor was done, Lesnar replied with "then I'm done too." Of course, fighters have a hard time walking away. Now, with the greatest heavyweight in history finally in the UFC, fans are still stuck with a "what if" scenario. The reality is that a prime Lesnar had a very good shot against Fedor, thanks to a massive size advantage - but Fedor was an expert in fighting larger men, and could just as easily have come out on top. This is the one fight that really should have happened, but never did, which is an absolute shame.
