Dana White Talks Fedor's Loss

Easy, make a **** load of money off the back of your fighters and the years don't seem so long.

 

Even a broken clock is right once a day. If he doesnt think Fedor is the best heavy in the world fine. But not even top 10? The guys beyond psychotic.

 

A broken clock is actually right twice a day

And yes its obvious diana white is talking rubbish because there is not one top, average or unknown mma fighter who would ever argue fedor is at least top 5 HW - he is talking nonsense and just causes people to lose respect for UFC.

Just makes me miss Pride days ever so more.

 

Dana's first offer to Fedor was $400,000 which is pathetic really, both Strikeforce and Affliction easily surpassed this amount (especially with the consulting fee).

I know that Dana is a tight arse and only pays Carwin $40k to show and $40k to win. Even if Dana offered their old offer to Fedor, he would have absolutely ZERO chance of snagging Fedor.

The contract was very restrictive. Fedor even thought that the UFC contract was an insult. Basically if Fedor won the belt then HE COULD NEVER leave the UFC until he looses. Likewise if Fedor lost one fight then the UFC doesnt have to honour the agreed pay and can pay fedor $5,000 for a fight and $5,000 for a win (instead of $400,000), the UFC could even cut Fedor altogether.

WTF is Dana being so greeds? doesnt he know that M1 can even promote the UFC brand to regions that the UFC doesnt show its fight on? and that co-promotion means a 50:50 split on all costs and even fighters?

Shane Carwwin has already stated that for his upcoming Brock fight, he will only pocket $40,000 to fight and another $40,000 to win, he also doesnt get a PPV cut. The many millions from PPV, gate, and ads go directly to Dana and the brothers.....not to its fighters.

This is exactly what happend. Its a bit like Dana saying that he pushed Dan Henderson out of the UFC because he couldnt cut it. While in actuality, Dan Henderson left because Dana wouldnt let him promote his "Clinch Gear" line of clothing........the same Clinch Gear thats sponsoring Fedor now (Dan has even said that Dana lied as to the reason he left).

There are free MMA that you can watch on the web with allot better fighters and fight. M1-Global even has its own free videos of its Challenger and Selection. F&%^ paying for garbage shows.

These guys are usually Americans who dont have any other avenues apart from Strikeforce and UFC. Guys like Overeem, Fedor, Gegard, Barnett dont rely on American promotions, they could easily get better money fighting in Dream, K1 and even start boxing (which pays a whole lot more than MMA). This is the reason why Overeem and Josh would never fight in the UFC.

As for Rampage..........his manager was for the UFC, Rampage would much prefer retirement than fight for the UFC (5:50 in the video).

Fedor didnt take a lower paying job with M1-Global, he took a way higher paying job. Money wise M1 made Fedor much more money than what the UFC could ever have done...........think of it this way, (accoding to the above video), Dana got paid $100 million for a 10% ownership of the UFC. M1 is a smaller company, but Fedor is already a 20% owner of M1-Global.

Its not only money though. M1-Global has always treated Fedor fairly and has always kept things civil. The UFC and especially Dana has NOT.

Fedor looses with M1-Strikeforce = Scot and Vadim open for a rematch......IN RUSSIA which is gonna be huge. Both Strikeforce and M1 will greatly benifit from this. The Russian fans will greatly benifit from this. As a proud Russian and 20% owner of M1, Fedor benifits big time.


Fedor looses in the UFC = dramatic pay cut/cut from his contract. Fedor will loose out big time.

 

Yea thats only because he has had 2 champions for the last 2-3 years! ummm yes it is Danas personality Vs. Fedors. Dana has been a total dickhead to Fedor. I know that if my boss (much less a guy who ISN'T my boss yet) talked to me/about me like that I'd not work for him for any amount of money. You being you would probably suck a mans dick for a ton of money, thats your choice I have principals, you don't. You will never understand that so its pointless to try and make you see it.

 

That was a little harsh.

 

Dana will change his tune if Lesnar gets KO'd and then Fedor destroys Werdum in the rematch.

 

yeah Fedor only beat 5 of his former champions knocking 4 of them out.

White is a clown. His Heavyweight champion is a WWF wrestler with 5 fights.

 

monaroCountry keep posting man please and tell all those people why Fedor didn't sign !!

As for me, I never paid a UFC event, and never will. but I'm still watching all of them for free, so Dana can go **** himself !

 

Excellent post:good Most people don't know the real stories of "cut" UFC fighters. They usually leave because Dana is a greedy *******, Dana has controls of the cameras so he says they could'nt cut and the fighter has little to no chance for rebuttle. Great post:happy

 

First, I am one of the first and most negative poster here concerning the UFC. Ask Ajax. I was talking about how garbage their PPVs were 2 ****in years ago. Now Ive seen the HW division abit more entertaining. But you guys have completely lost your marbles for your manlove for Fedor.

Second, I have my own business, I would never work for someone. Now would you comeback and say "Good for me"? Dana White is a ****in promoter, would you ever get that? Im a huge fan of boxing and Dana is an Angel, an Angel compared to Arum, DLH, King or even a Shaw.

If Fedor is such a man of principle like you say, then fight and show the UFC that you OWN them. Even for a measley $400k thats been mentioned. Surely he was on the bargaining table and had he asked to fight for $200k for a one time fight with Randy, Dana would have jumped at that. This was a two way street. Both have a choice to walk away.

Also, It seems like you portray Fedor as far too sensitive to get hurt by Danas comments, then if he is that sensitive and a man of principle..then he should have fought Brock for 100k and mop the floor with him just to prove a point. Fedor is grown man, he doesnt care what Dana says. But after last weekend, it probably irks him abit now.

BTW **** Dana

 

Getting personal online? Sad not harsh.

 

I gotta say, Dana is a moron on this one.

 

Dana when interviewed yesterday by Rogan at the Carwin Lesnar weighin drooled about Carwin being 12-0 and how difficult that was/is. Well Fedor's been unbeaten his entire career until last week. 30 plus fights without a loss against top quality opponents. And the UFC hype machine rolls on...

 

All 30 of his opponents top quality? You might be more delusional then Dana His resume is littered with Japanese superstars k1 fighters and freakshows but on this site nobody ackknowledges that. Even during his prime right after his wins against Mirko and Nog he was taking **** fights and you know it.

I still think he is the best and yes he has proven more then anybody but please don't lie to yourself about his resume.
