General translation on some questions.

Reporter: Is your goal to get all MMA belts?

Fedor: Not really, especially since you have to deal with organizations managements to get the fights happen and recently I realized that in some cases it's almost impossible.

Reporter: What's your status on where you'll be fighting?

Fedor: Right now we're negotiating with K-1 and PRIDE/UFC. I'll be fighting in one of these two orgs. I'd like to fight in PRIDE/UFC but their management dictates their terms wich don't work for us. They're just thinking on what's best for them and it's not gonna work for us.

Thatta boy Fedor. Bring UFC to their knees! They need you more than you need them.

I thought Bodog would end up with him, I guess that's out the window.

They better fucking do whatever Fedor wants and get him in there for at least 2 or 3 fights. If they don't get him signed, they must like the taste of shit, because they have their heads so far up their asses they would starve if they didn't.

dude, if Zuffa doesn't sign Fedor, that will come back to haunt them. and who the HELL is he gonna fight in K-1!?!?!

[CEVANS]

dena has to get fedor or his clam that the ufc has the best fighters is just bull shit.never will the ufc HW champ be the best in the world as long as fedor is not in the ufc or someone from the ufc beats him.i do not know as much as some on here do but i know fedor is the best HW in the world

[AudieMurphy1]

k1 must have some deep pockets

[Krazikarl]

The UFC doesnt really need Fedor. Many US MMA fans dont know who he is or dont understand how good he is. The fans who do know all about Fedor will buy the UFC PPVs anyway.

I want Fedor to fight against the best (which means in the UFC nowadays) as much as anybody, but to think that he will bring the UFC to its knees by not fighting for them is rather silly. The HW division of the UFC has never been the glamour division: thas the LHW division and it appears that it will stay that way for a while.

You're serious? Last I checked, the UFC is doing just fine right now without him.

I agree, who the hell does K1 have in the HW division? Lesnar? I don't see why it's so hard to sign a 2 or 3 fight contract with the guy and if it doesn't work then cut him loose. They better dig down deep and sign his ass before someone else does.

Dude, are you serious? They can't lay a claim to having the best fighters in the world if the baddest man on the planet doesn't fight at least a couple of top UFC guys. And you might not want to fuck with Mr. Boone on here. Just a word of advice.
