    Here are some snippets from todays conference, from Micheal David Smith of Fanhouse:


    • Vadim Finkelchtein rips Brock Lesnar, says he's 4-1 and is just a product of the UFC hype machine. Says Rogers is better than Lesnar.
    • Scott Coker: Strikeforce will go to pay-per-view, probably in about 6-9 months
    • Josh Gross asks a great question: How can M-1 be a co-promoter if they don't even have a promoter's license? Conveniently, the M-1 phone connection cuts out when they're asked if they're licensed promoters.
    • Fedor Emelianenko: I have full control of all my contracts, finances and my whole career. Don't blame Vadim, M-1
    • Scott Coker says M-1 has a promoter's license and co-promoting Strikeforce won't be an issue at all.
    • Fedor and Vadim say they would have signed with the UFC if they had really been offered $30M for six fights.
    • Fedor on how he feels about backlash from fans who wanted to see him fight Lesnar. "Sorry that fight could not happen. I feel very sorry for my fans".

    I hope they don't have high expectations of big ppv numbers.
