    And this type of **** is why my interest in MMA will be essentially ZERO when Strickeforce is gone because White will play favorites etc. like he always does. The UFC is no different than the WWE.

    They did it because it's what needs to be done. Fedor is going to have to get paid a more realistic figure. This is why the UFC is alive and well... and Zuffa is buying out orgs like Pride and Strikeforce, and the others fall apart. Unlike the others, Zuffa obviously knows what the hell they are doing. The other orgs have contracts with Showtime, and are even on CBS yet still can't keep their heads above water. There is obviously something wrong with the way they are doing business, and there is obviously something right with the way that Zuffa does it. Fedor will still get paid plenty.... but after losing back to back fights, Werdum is one thing being "caught" in a submission... but then to turn around and be absolutely dominated as he was against Silva. Let alone the fact that he went life and death with a raw fighter like Rogers before that. He simply isn't worth the same money that he was getting before.

    sad to see fedor one of the greatest in the sport leave. I think fedor if he comes back should cut to lhw i think he would have a better chance in that division.

    Soo... Zuffa doesn't know what they're doing? Or is Fedor worth more money now that he's lost back to back fights? What exactly is so laughably false in that statement?

    FOR **** SAKE THEY'RE NO DOING ANYTHING! HE HAS A CONTRACT AND ITS BEING HONOURED! JUST THIS WEEK THEY'VE TALKING ABOUT MAKING FEDOR VS HENDERSON!

    Seriously, is it really that difficult to read an entire thread before coming out with the same stupid points that have been refuted a billion times.

    Don't expect an educated response from him. He doesn't have that sort of ability. He usually just laughs or calls people a "UFC schill" when they point out obvious facts such as I did.
