i wonder, if Werdum beats Fedor will people claim him to be the best P4P fighter? Would they still conisider Fedor to be the best P4P (some people believe this).

[roaddawg]

I doubt it considering Werdum got KTFO by JDS. He would just be known as the guy whom defeated Fedor.

Fedor will neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvver be in the UFC, the sooner everybody excepts this the better. Ever since Pride ended there has been at the minimum one thread a month concerning Fedor and the UFC. Everybody needs to move on and except that this will never happen for the countless reasons we have ALL read in the million other threads. Hate on me all you want, its just reality folks.

I'm tired of these threads teasing the chance of fedor in the UFC. it didn't happen after pride and it didn't after affliction its not gonna happen as long as M1 is involved

why should he care about going to the UFC at this point his legacy is what it is the most dominant Heavy weight of all time his record speaks for itself

[willpunisher]

blah i'll only get my hopes up when i hear from Fedor that he has signed with UFC. Not Dana or whatever.

[Lesnar_FTW]

I'm not believing Fedor is in the UFC till it is officially announced that he has signed, which I think will never happen.

To whoever said that UFC is ducking Fedor, that makes no sense. There is no reason that Dana wouldn't want this guy. If he had him and he dominated everyone, Dana would be gloating about how great Fedor is, so it's a win situation for him. As far as I understand, Dana offered more to Fedor than anybody will and maybe more than his own fighters currently. He's even said he's obsessed with signing him. I don't think either party is ducking the other, because Fedor has still faced and agreed to face top HWs outside of UFC, I think M1 is just a bunch of hustlers that want to use one fighter to try and leach off the success of an entire organization.

tank abbot has a better chance making a run at the ufc hw title then fedor and the ufc every have of coming to terms on a contract

[HighPlainsDrifter]

Does he have 2 fights left after Werdum or including Werdum? either way I'm not getting my hopes up.

Ok assuming M-1 gives up this co-promotion crap and is happy getting to plaster the cage with sponsor placements, this would be my idea.
If I was Dana I'd give him a 3 fight deal, starting with a real bad non-title matchup. The loser of Carwin/Lesnar or Cain would be ideal. Let him lose before the title fight and cut him. If the M-1 doesn't like it, they can go to court and have to explain why Fedor was only paid 100k and they got a $1M bookng fee for tax purposes as well.
Fedor's great, don't get me wrong, but I just think he cuts too easily to deal with the types of elbows the bigger wrestlers would be dropping on him. Coleman was able to get him down way after his prime so his TDD is definitely suspect. He has the hip movement to pop subs from the bottom but these guys would definitely be gameplanning for that. And for all the talk of his 1 loss not counting, he still bled a lot from a glancing elbow and that would be an indisputable loss under today's rules.

Of course if he wins and gets the belt eventually, Dana'd have to weigh the buyrates Fedor's getting and how much the russians raise their price tag. If the buys aren't anything special then its not like they're hesitant to make an interim/replacement champ anyway. If he's drawing what he should then I'm sure they'll dance with the devil til he retires or someone does beat him.

[Pasha K]

Maybe Fedor said that only to calm a little bit all the retards that complain a lot because he is not in UFC.

But dont have any hopes, we will never ever see him there. Few days ago he said that if he does not retire he does not see a reason of why not extending his contract with SF.
