all the great fighters under the affliction banner where do they go now? all the great fighters now are in need of work in an mma world more devoid than ever mma organizations. Pride is and has been dead and gone, afflictions getting last rights from the priest as we speak, and elite xc was destroyed faster than kimbo by a seth petruzelli front kick. where does fedor go from here does he become just some ultra expensive sideshow freak jumping from small org to small org beating up the james thompsons of the world for an extremely unreasonable fee while still having people claim that he is the best heavyweight in the world? even if he doesnt want to go to the ufc his options for bigtime money are running out. he can retire right now being the best heavy in the world but there will always be that one big question in the mma world asked by the newer fans of mma. Is fedor that damn good that he doesnt need dana and the ufc or is he just protected in the last few years? can he beat brock lesnar or even frank mir? Will barnett go back to japanese pro rasslin??? fun to watch but utterly meaningless. and what of all the lower weight fighters??? great fighters in their own right but the ufc can only hold so much talent. so whats in their futures??
yeah but do either strikeforce or dream have the talent or money to absorb several new main event caliber fighters especially the money to keep fedor for more than a fight or two?
I figure the big names will go to ufc and the other would go to smaller mma organizations. Fedor-Arlovski-Barnett-Sylvia will probably sign with ufc
do you really think they would take arlovski, barnett, and sylvia back after their recent accounting of themselves???
Sylvia,AA and definatly Barnett will not be in the UFC anytime soon. Finkel just said on an article on MMA bay that he will listen to the UFC offers while he is in the states but of course Fedor signing will have to come with an agreement of a co-promotion with M1-Global which of course could be a big road block.
