He's too chicken to fight n the UFC I am sorry guys I know some of you think he is "The Fighter" which hes not, but they (M-1) are just acting like little babies.
Saw this on my mma forum and had me laughing not sure if anyone here will get it but I personally thought it was hilarious. The gif is not working!
I was sure he was close behind when all the guys started leaving pride...maybe they are writing checks that Dana won't. Dana can be an ego maniac at times, and if fedor is demanding x amount of $$$ Dana may have said to hell with him. I want so badly to see him go against the best in the UFC, but if he does not want to, that will be his legacy to tarnish...Warren Moon got little respect until he did it in the NFL, even though he was great in the CFL.
Oh it's not the money my friend. Ufc offered him more cash than he will make anywhere else for fighting. They are hung up on this co-promoting thing. Ufc gave in to all his demands that they did not in the past. Sambo tournaments and stuff like that. They (M-1 and Emelienenko) are not bright enough to sign with the UFC let the UFC promote Fedor because they know how to do it. IF Fedor comes in and destroys Brock, Valasquez, Carwin and the rest of thh UFC HW division he could walk away as the baddest man on the planet after his 4 or 6 fight deal whatever it is. Instead they are hung up on wanting a piece of profit all because M-1 has 1 fighter, Fedor. Why would the UFC do that they would be crazy to and everyone knows it. Fedor is a lucky punch away from having all the hype answered anyway. Fedor is not a huge draw here in the U.S. Only hardcore fans even know who he is. Let the UFC promote you make more money than you will ever spend and walk back to M-1 and do whatever you want after that. They in my opinion are only losing a huge opportunity and obviously don't fight for the reason most fighters do. 1. To prove and challenge yourself against the best 2. Make loads of cash for you and your family so they will never worry about money. 3. To give the fans what we deserve and expect to see as paying supporters. lol in no particular order. I just was sick of the Fedor hype when he won't challenge any of these new heavyweights. This certainly ends Fedor rules chants. UFC did everything logically and respectfully this time. Don't be scared Fedor, no excuses.
Tribal, I was unaware of the money offered...now that I have read your reply...he is loosing my "love" daily. I too thought he was just sick when all the big dogs were still in pride, but you make a great point. In the UFC you can get hit with a one hitter quitter on any given day but a fighter who is not on your level, and then fedor would no longer be a machine...lol. Think about serra drilling GSP, any given day.
