Vadim Finklestein: “I Think Fedor Can Still Reach A Deal With The UFC”

Not againatsch This article is PROOF Fedor does'nt mind fighting in the UFC. And who do you think he has his sights set on? LESNAR!!! Fedor knows that is the fight to be made so he would'nt be willing to sign with the UFC unless he was willing to face Lesnar.

Plus, if Fedor really did'nt want to face Lesnar, after his loss he could have just laid low and made sure M1 did'nt meantion a possible UFC deal. Why does'nt this reach you?:-(

I will tell you what will happen, Fedor will rematch Werdum and beat him. His contract will be fufilled at strikeforce. Then, I can see Fedor moving away from M1 to sign a one fight deal with the UFC and facing thier current champion. But he damn sure isn't affraid of the hype surrounding the UFC. That is just childish nonsense.

 

Finkelstein is a crook riding Fedor's coattails for sure. But, I do not think Fedor should take whatever Dana offers to "prove" something. If that was the case, why does'nt Dana take no cut of that fight deal so he can "prove" something? He won't because he wants to ink the fighters for as little cash as possible but he won't budge on his salary.

 

I don't think the UFC wants Fedor.

 

Talk is talk and I don't believe everything Finkel says or Dana for that matter. I would rather see Fedor fight Overeem anyhow I still don't know why he didn't after he beat Rogers.

 

I would love to see Dana vs Finkelstein. Hopefully they both off each other.:good

 

haha, tha's one thing we can agree on.

 

Trust me, they still want him:deal. Why would'nt they? Even with his loss he is still very marketable.


The UFC will be more firm on thier offers though and I don't blame them for that. But 20k to fight and 20k to win is beyond insult. But I don't think Dana is serious about that. I Promise the UFC will give up at least 400k per fight for Fedor.:good

 

He'll need a dominant performance over Werdum for that. Fedor may need a victory over Overeem as well to get near their previous offer.

 

I agree. He must defeat Werdum. But the Overreem fight will be hard to pull off seeing how he would have to get another strikeforce contract (probably). I think with a Fedor rematch win, he will be right back up there in negotiations.

Some say he should just fight Overreem and I disagree with this. He must beat Werdum or people will always hold that over his head.
