I hear he is actually a pretty decent guy. My nephew and his father in law were his trainer and chef, until he accused them of defalcation.

min0 lee · 07-21-2009, 02:31 PM

Your nephew the chef defecated on him?

Yuck!

**IainDaniel** · 07-25-2009, 06:55 AM

Tito Ortiz and Dana make amends. Tito back in the UFC, not that I see him doing fuck all.

Bigger, is that Affliction canceled there show next weekend. It was meant to feature Josh Barnett against Fedor, until Barnett tested positive for PEDs.

thegoodstuffguy · 07-26-2009, 07:44 PM

In MMA you can use any fighting style right? Kicks, punches, knees, elbows, headbutts - whatever?

The fights always seem to be decided on the ground though, which seems to suggest that 1 on 1, wrestling style fighting techniques trump all others?

You are correct in your observation. Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu are a must to learn if you want to be champion.

TrojanMan60563 · 07-26-2009, 10:59 PM

Josh probably told on himself...save the ass whooping he was about to get handed to him.

AKIRA · 07-27-2009, 11:59 AM

Fuck Affliction. And fuck Barnett. It sucks that we dont get to see Fedor fight, but IF it gets him closer to the UFC, so be it.

Lots of speculation saying he wont sign cuz of M1, but if there is any time for this it would be now. I really cant picture any better time.

TrojanMan60563 · 07-28-2009, 10:35 AM

UFC wont sign for 1 fight deals...Fedor isn't down for that contracted deals where he has to fight anyone due to contract. My guess would be Fedor is not a huge spender and has more money now then he will ever need...so its not a money issue where he needs to obligate himself to get some cash.

AKIRA · 07-28-2009, 11:47 AM

If now is not the time, it never will be.

Dana said "Fedor will fight in the UFC". I believe him.

Richie1888 · 07-29-2009, 06:01 AM

five ounces have an article saying he could be signed by the end of the week speculation though

espn got the deal in the uk was hoping one of the free channels might have got it

Richie1888 · 08-05-2009, 11:05 AM

anyone seen these video funny as hell

YouTube - Dana negotiates for Fedor (pt II)

**IainDaniel** · 08-05-2009, 02:07 PM

Fedor is a pussy he won't be in the UFC.

Signed with Strikeforce, and from what I read Dana offered him the farm.

TrojanMan60563 · 08-05-2009, 10:58 PM

Keep in mind being paid by the state of russia Fedor may not be the only one saying yes or no here. My understanding is the asking deal included ownership of 50% of the company. That doesn't sound to me like something a fighter asks for. Russian government...sure!

I want to correct my statement its not exactly 50% ownership, but 50% of the promotion rights to the UFC....close enough.

**IainDaniel** · 08-06-2009, 07:43 AM

M-1 his promoter is the big problem.

AKIRA · 08-06-2009, 09:03 AM

Its pretty bad. Before this all happen, there was specualtion that all Fedor fights is cans. Or people who used to be good and are no longer. Cro Cop and Nog may have been his best challenges.

I dont put too much weight in that thought, but now that hes avoided UFC THIS much?

CORUM · 08-06-2009, 10:17 AM

AKIRA you got to protect that record, avois anyone who may tarnish it!!!

TrojanMan60563 · 08-06-2009, 11:20 AM

AKIRA I really don't think this is Fedor not wanting to fight in the UFC. I think its the driving force behind him that is causing the problems. It seems very strange to me that before he was willing to fight UFC on a 1 fight contract but Dana said no. Now Dana wants to bring him in and his promoting company is asking for the world. My understanding is Russia writes this mans paycheck, and I am confident they are behind the current situation as well. Until I see Fedor make a statement I have no reason to believe he is nothing but a stand up guy.

And dont fucking say M1.

**IainDaniel** · 08-06-2009, 11:41 AM

Sure there may be big organizations in other parts of the world.

But I don't believe they have the same upper tier skill level as the UFC. Ever since Pride bit the bullet.

CORUM · 08-06-2009, 12:19 PM

i think dana said it best "if he doesn't want to fight the best fuck him, im done"

i read somewhere that someone said no true fighter would fight for free to prove they are the best..... tell bj penn that!!! (im not a bj nut rider either) but that guy will fight ANYONE any time and it doesnt matter. they say he is the type of guy that you email him and say "hey bj i think i can whoop your ass" his response would be "whats your address" NOW THAT IS A FIGHTER!!! IMHO

TrojanMan60563 · 08-06-2009, 01:39 PM

Well based on the youtube video above I can see his point. The previous offer was some sorta bullshit, and now Dana wants to cash in on the publics huge interest in seeing Fedor fight UFC. I think turning down this offer was nothing more then to spit in Dana's face for insulting him the first time. I think eventually you will see either UFC fighters leave to fight him, or they will renegotiate an offer. There is no doubt Fedor could very well be the best heavy in the MMA scene. The top UFC fighters will always have it in the back of their minds there might be somoene out there who is better, and imo they will seek that fight either in UFC, or outside of it.

Every UFC fighter to leave UFC and fight him have been destroyed. I agree this situation is annoying, but I get it...and so should the rest of you.
