Fedor Emelianenko is always in need of recognizable heavyweight opponents and he may have found one – if Shane Carwin is to be believed. Carwin (12-2), a former UFC interim heavyweight champion who recently announced his intentions to return to fighting,  tweeted a photo of a Rizin FF glove with a message reading, “Hey @rizin_PR you are going to need bigger gloves, these do not fit, not even close!” Hey @rizin_PR you are going to need bigger gloves, these do not fit, not even close! #MMA pic.twitter.com/Yk3gp2ataz — Shane Carwin (@ShaneCarwin) October 23, 2016 Of course, this sent fans into a fit of fantasy matchmaking. Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and Wanderlei Silva are among those competing in the Rizin FF open-weight tournament currently and in the Wild West world of Japanese MMA, it’s possible to see either man across the ring from Carwin in the future. However, Carwin tweeted he accepted a fight with Emelianenko (36-4) “two weeks ago” and said the ball is in the Russian’s court. @GlynWilkinson I accepted that fight two weeks ago. Would be an honor
