Abstract: We show that for any metric space $M$ satisfying certain natural conditions, there is a finitely generated group $G$, an ultrafilter $omega$, and an isometric embedding $iota$ of $M$ to the asymptotic cone ${mCone}_{o}mega(G)$ such that the induced homomorphism $iot{a}^{a}st:p{i}_1(M)op{i}_1({mCone}_{o}mega(G))$ is injective. In particular, we prove that any countable group can be embedded into a fundamental group of an asymptotic cone of a finitely generated group.
