There are certainly many rich fighters in the sport of MMA. Despite some fighter pays issues, the Dana White-owned promotion has managed to create superstars such as the likes of Conor McGregor and Israel Adesanya. Some of the fans would also remember the likes of Randy Couture and Anderson Silva to gain their wealth and fame from the sport.

However, there is one fighter that Dana White wanted to sign to the UFC but unfortunately couldn’t do so. Michael Bisping has revealed some insights about the same while also mentioning his net worth.

Michael Bisping ranks MMA fighters according to their wealth

The UFC Legend spoke about some of the wealthiest fighters to have graced the sport of MMA. He managed to rank all the fighters that competed and didn’t compete in the UFC.

Furthermore, Bisping revealed that Dana White was gutted not to have signed the legend in the UFC. He added his take on some of the legendary fights that the fans could not witness.

The UFC commentator said, “When I said legend of the game they don’t get much more legendary than Fedor ‘The Last Emperor’ Emelianenko.” Heralded as the greatest heavyweight we’ve ever seen. It was a shame that number 10 in our list Fedor and Randy, they never got to meet up in the UFC or outside of the promotion but still, it is what it is”.

When speaking about UFC’s failure to sign ‘The Emperor’, Bisping added, “Apparently, the only reason he didn’t fight in the UFC is because his management wanted a ridiculous deal and by all accounts Dana said in interview many times they gave him a ridiculous offer”.

Additionally, Bisping also added an interview where White spoke about the issue in his podcast

Dana White was obsessed to sign Fedor Emelianenko

The UFC President is not a person that becomes obsessed with a fighter. Especially, one where the fighter is not even in his promotion. Perhaps he made an exception with Emelianenko.

In the clip added by Bisping on his podcast, Dana White was seen saying, “He has become my obsession man you know… I want it worse than the fans want it now believe me”.
