Dana White shuts the door on Fedor completely.

[Gards Jr.]

I heard that is why the deal went through, cause of the M-1 Global deal. Too me they are just ruining a great chance for Fedor. Really, if they think that they will get the deal then they are dreaming, what will it do for UFC? Maybe a little promotion in Russia but other then that, it is just quite pointless.

I think Dana has officially gone into "FU Fedor" mode. He literally tried everything to get this guy to the UFC. I watched the conference call on UFC.com and they said he will never get another deal like this in MMA. That's probably talking about other promotions, but I think he was including the UFC. If someone is dumb enough to turn down that big of a deal they don't deserve another one if at anytime in the future.

its a shame they couldnt agree. i was really pumped for brock-fedor

M-1 Global is using Fedor to promote M-1 globals own MMA promotion, if Fedor goes to the UFC and loses, he isgoona lose alot of his best MMA fighter in the world/ever talk. There afraid of that, because if that happens they lose their cover boy and all there publicity. Thats pretty much why there making impossible demands.

I'm not completely up to scratch on the Fedor/UFC thing, but I found this funny...

I renamed the thread because of this, thus proving what I said before Operation "FUCK YOU FEDOR" has officially started...

In an interview with MMAWeekly.com, Dana White talked about Fedor Emelianenko signing with rival promotion Strikeforce and here are some highlights:

"He turns down a huge deal and the opportunity to face the best in the world to fight nobodies for no money!"

"How are they [M1-Global] going to help us co-promote?"

"They're going to help us? That s*** might work in Russia [but] not here."

"How do you deal with something like this?"

"We did everything possible for this deal. We didn't hold back. It's crazy to turn down a deal like this."

"We went above and beyond. We have been able to sign the best fighters in the world over the last 10 years, so to not be able to sign this guy [wasn't our fault]."

"I feel sorry for the real fight fans."

"I wanted to make the deal, but it takes two and it is VERY obvious Fedor doesn't want to fight the best and doesn't give a s*** about the fans."

Dana West is 100% right. Fedor is a pussy. Enjoy spending the rest of your career beating nobodies and hasbeens.

I seriously think Fedor screwed himself here, or else that was the dumbasses intention to begin with. He gives Russia an even worse name than they already gave themselves.

Honestly, fuck Fedor. He can top all the charts he wants, but at the end of the day, he's still gonna have a cloud over his legacy, saying that he never fought in the UFC, and therefore, never the top dogs. And the top guys he did fight, were ostly past their prime.

Honestly, fuck Fedor...And the top guys he did fight, were ostly past their prime.

YES. Fingers point to Arlovski and Sylvia.

Fedor is just scared from facing a BEAST NAMED LESNAR :laugh:

Maybe Fedor doesn't wanna get fucked up by the Russian mafia.
