Might Be A Dumb Question But....

yes you can have co promotion, dream and strikeforce do a lot of co promotion

but the UFC doesn't do co promotion has a no co promotion policy so you wouldn't ever see lesnar fight overeem, unless overeem signed with the ufc.

 

There big enough to not need it anymore...They used to with Pride. Then when they bought pride out they did a few unification fights with guys like Nog and Henderson.

 

ufc is big enough they don't need to, they have a monopoly over mma and pretty much put it on the map, why would they let some other company come in and take half the profit when the ufc basically built mma from the ground up?

but yes, it sucks

 

Nop. When Pride fc existed , the only time they gave it a try was with Liddell...in 2003 Only because Dana had a bet. (he predicted that Liddell was going to win the grand prix)...

And that was it... Then there was a rumor about Kharitonov fighting Sylvia but it was just bull****...

It's only when pride had to file for bankruptcy that matchups between ex-pride fc fighters vs ufc fighters started to happen.

But pride did a co-promotion in 2002 with K1 though. (which was spectacular)

Boxingcar dont forget when the UFC sent Ricco to Japan to get robbed agianst Nogueira.

 

Oh yeah...you're right... Still , it was very rare...

PS: I personally thought it was a draw...But that's another issue.

 

Damn, I would have loved to see a "prime" Sylvia get the **** kicked out of him by Sergei.

 

yea Liddell went over for a few fights plus wand came over to fight Tito Minowa did aswell


It happened a few times...not saying they did it a lot mind.

 

I think the UFC wants to be to MMA what the NBA is to basketball. Like the number 1 recognized league, with all other leagues just where the fighters go when they are not good enough to make it to the #1 league. Its a smart concept, and its good for the sport, but to make it work he will have to pay the fighters what they are worth.

 

Exactly how is it good for the sport?

 

Ahhhhhhh yes one of the greatest MMA event specticules of all time. In terms of a show, wow you'll never see something on this scale in the US, ever.

 

if that was happeneing brock would have fought fedor a long time ago!!

 

Cuz dana white is a *****. Fedor could have fought in the ufc already if dana allowed him to sign a one fight contract.
