I know I'll get flamed for this but here it goes Fedor is a ****ing ***** if he signs for strike force. Seriously, who can they offer him in terms of big fights? I know what everyone will say regarding 'slave contracts' and Dana White being the devil and blah blah blah but surely he knows everyone wants him to fight Lesnar, and it's not like he won't make millions of dollars for this fight! If anything he's taking a paycut to fight lesser known opponents in an organisation that isn't as mainstream as the UFC! I feel alot better now after venting lol
Fedor doesnt need to the UFC. Yes it would be great if he did but its his right to refuse what the UFC are offering. If he could go in and fight lesnar then he would but you know its not as simple as that. UFC want him locked in a exclusive contract and other things (I dont blame them) but Fedor doesnt wasnt that. To suggest Fedor is ducking fighters is crazy.
I wish someone could put the Fedor fight with Barnett together for the Japanese promotion that has an interest in Barnett fighting on Aug 9. Barnett and Couture are the only names missing from Fedor's resume, that have excelled during the same era.
Well it's good enough for GSP, BJ, Lyoto and even Tito has come to terms with the UFC's arrangements! Yes he may be contracted under their terms for a while but he will make alot of money and shut people (like me lol) up. And strikeforce could never conjure the exposure the UFC could, in the US maybe but the UFC is shown all around the world. And surely the more exposure he gets the better the 3rd party endorsement deals will be funding his back pocket well into retirement. I realize I'm coming off as a UFC nuthugger but beside Barnett what other established heavyweights are out there for Fedor to fight? Fedor would have a ball with Lesnar, Couture, Carwin and why not have him beat on Kongo, that would be good for a laugh! And is it that unbelievable that he may actually be ducking Lesnar? I can't say for sure he is but nobody besides Fedor can say for sure he isn't. Nobody cares to see him fight Couture after Lesnar beat him, Fedor know's he'd have to fight Brock.
So to make you happy he should sign away his next few fights and suck dana's **** to prove you right that he is not ducking brock lesnar :rofl:rofl GSP BJ etc do not have the pulling power fedor has so they can't really command the money fedor does can you see them carrying an afflicition event on their own?
Yeah. God forbid MMA fans actually get to see the best fights. Much better to just actively hate the UFC. I want pride back:|
And exactly who in the UFC does he need to prove his the best? Lesnar needs to beat Fedor to be #1. Not the other way round. Mirko - already beat Noguiera - already beat. Mir - not on Fedor's level Randy - Fedor would kill him People have been saying Fedor needs to join the UFC for a long time. When Syliva and Alovski were in the UFC Plenty people were saying then that Fedor needs to fight the likes of them. He dealt with them easily. UFC is the #1 MMA organisation in the world but it's a myth that Fedor needs to go there to prove his #1.
Blah, people were making the same claims about Arlovski and Sylvia. The problem doesn't lie with Fedor ducking anybody, he just doesn't like the contract the UFC was/is offering him. If Lesnar was fighting outside the UFC the fight would be made in an instant.
