At the press conference following UFC 321, which took place in Abu Dhabi, UFC President Dana White commented on rumors regarding a potential boxing rematch between the famous mixed martial artists Fedor Emelianenko and Mirko Cro Cop.
White noted: "Does Fedor want to have a boxing match with Cro Cop? I'm not particularly eager to see such a pairing on my boxing show. There will surely be others interested in organizing this fight, but it's not my initiative."
We remind you that earlier Emelianenko proposed to Cro Cop to have a rematch in Serbia in the spring of 2026, which attracted significant attention from both MMA and boxing fans.
The first fight between these fighters took place in 2005 at the PRIDE Final Conflict tournament, where Emelianenko won by unanimous decision.
Experts believe that a boxing rematch could be an interesting experiment for both legendary fighters; however, its realization depends on interested promoters and is not the prerogative of the UFC.
