Does Fedor Emelianenko need to finish his career in the UFC?

Does Fedor Emelianenko need to finish his career in the UFC to be considered ultimately the greatest heavyweight ever?

It would appear the root of the reason why Emelianenko has not fought in the UFC is because of conflicting differences between UFC President Dana White and Fedor's manager and management team Vadim Finkelstein, and M-1 Global. White has given the perspective of Vadim being completely in control of Fedor's career. Finkelstein seems to feel that White is not offering the right money and contract offerings that satisfy his wishes for his fighter. Fedor seems to put 100% trust in his managers abilities and sticks to fighting. Perhaps White has met his match with Finkelstein and will be forced to relent his normally relentless business savvy to land the great heavyweight before the window of opportunity elapses.

I think Fedor needs the UFC and the UFC needs Fedor and thus both sides will eventually agree to terms. I just hope it happens while he is still on top of his game.

Thoughts?
