Sources close to negotiations between the UFC and Fedor's management have informed Fightline.com that the two sides are currently discussing a possible one fight deal that would bring Fedor to the cage, presumably to face Randy Couture.
It is unknown whether Couture would end his lawsuit and come back to the UFC to face Fedor if the UFC were able to offer such a fight, but Couture has stated on numerous occasions that this is the only fight that makes sense at this stage of his career.
It should be noted that nothing is eminent at this point and negotiations are in the general discussion phase. If made, however, the deal would be unprecedented. The UFC is notorious for locking up fighters in long term deals and not allowing them to leave as champions. We'll have more on this story as it develops.
Here's another related article from the same website.

Fedor Emelianenko will likely become a free agent once again after choosing to pay back 1.5 million dollars to M-1 Global to leave the MMA startup. There has been much speculation as to where he'll end up but it appears that the UFC is a strong possibility.
Asked if he'd sign Fedor should he become available, UFC president Dana White responded to ESPN, "Absolutely, 100 percent, in a heartbeat. People think he's the best -- I don't, not even close. But if it's somehow possible, I would make it happen."
For there part, Fedor's management appears open to a deal with the UFC as well.
"We're open to a discussion," Apy Echteld told ESPN. "If everybody is willing to put a little wine in the water, then we have something to work with. There is space for this to happen."
Meanwhile Randy Couture continues to fight in court for his freedom from his UFC contract. It'll be interesting to see what happens if Fedor does indeed sign with the UFC. Check back for the latest as this story develops.
It has to happen seriously this is the last massive dream fight that hasn't happened yet we got Wandy-Liddell, we got Hendo-Silva, we got Rampage vs Chuck 2, now all that's really left is Fedor vs Couture.
