LAS VEGAS – With all the talk of a potential Fedor Emelianenko return to MMA, we asked fighters from this weekend’s UFC 191 event if “The Last Emperor,” who’s nearly 39, should return to the sport – especially in the UFC. While none of the responses seemed especially optimistic about Emelianenko’s chances for real success in the UFC, most seemed to believes the legendary Russian had accomplished enough in his career to deserve another chance should he so choose. One fighter even pleaded for an Emelianenko return – and a chance to face him in the octagon. To hear what UFC 191 fighters Corey Anderson , Andrei Arlovski , Jan Blachowicz , Alex Chambers , John Dodson , Paul Felder , Jimi Manuwa , Frank Mir and Ross Pearson had to say, check out the video above. Featuring a flyweight title fight between current champion Demetrious Johnson and top contender Dodson, “UFC 191: Johnson vs. Dodson 2” takes place Saturday at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.
