Why not? Boxing does it all the time .

The Dana requires 100% control of everyone at all times.

[SPX]

The UFC is the biggest organization in the world; M-1 is some little Russian bullshit.

Why would the UFC co-promote with them? Just to get one fighter? Fedor's cool and all, but shit.

When there were still styles in the UFC. . .

He's also a moron. The UFC has lost tens of millions by not bringing Fedor to the UFC .

I would absolutely love to see the first round of fights of UFC 2.

How? Fedor never proved to be a huge draw. If he was, Affliction would still be around today.

How many organizations has Fedor killed now? Kimbo ain't got shit on him when it comes to driving organizations into bankruptcy.

Yeah, it seems like that shit would've been on the home video release.

You can't be serious . . . . . . . . . .

I think Fedor could have been a pretty big draw if he had UFC's marketing behind him.

Half serious.

If he had come in and won fights.

It's possible he would've come in and fizzled out like he did in SF.

[Luke]

Fedor vs Lesnar would have broke every PPV record in history. Not to mention had Fedor won the fight.

Dana knows the UFC would have made a ton why do you think he tried so hard to sign him? If you can't see that then. . . . . .

[Ludo]

That was pretty cool.

I'm still waiting for a spin kick KO in the UFC.

Anthony Njokuani robbed us of what would have been one.

Yeah, it depends on when we're talking about bringing him in, too.

[SPX]

Fedor vs Lesnar would have broke every PPV record in history.

I'm just not sure that would've been the case. I just don't think casuals know who he is.

Couture probably has a lot more stock with casual fans than Fedor.

The problem is now M-1 has lost it's leverage to even ask for co-promotion. Now the UFC has the best heavyweight in the world, not M-1. I doubt Fedor ever see's the inside of the octagon at this point. Dana and the Fertittas wouldn't even bother negotiating with M-1 now since Fedor's stock has dropped.

Make no mistake here, this was never about "paying Fedor what he was worth". It was always and forever about cutting M-1 in and giving Fedor the freedom to compete in Sambo. Eventually the Sambo thing got agreed to but Zuffa was never going to co-promote. There's plenty of blame to be had on both sides of this issue, it isn't wholly on Dana or Zuffa or M-1, this was a collective fuck up from the start.

I'm starting the new year off getting pwned by the NFL.

It looks like I'm going to, too. Fucking Tebow, I can't believe this.
