Fedor Emelianenko to address media about 'Trilogy' cancelation and more on July 29

Anaheim, Calif. -- Ever since Affliction announced late last week that its "Trilogy" event scheduled for Aug. 1 had been canceled, the combat sports world collectively has waited for an official response from former PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko.
On Wednesday at 1 p.m. PT inside the DoubleTree Hotel in Anaheim, Calif., Emelianenko will address the media for the first time since last week's sudden cancellation. During the press conference, Emelianenko will discuss the ramifications of the cancellation, comment on his future in the fight game, and respond to questions from members of the media.
"Since the cancellation, there has been a great deal of speculation regarding Fedor and M-1," said Vadim Finkelchtein, whose M-1 Global fight company not only produces international MMA events but also manages Fedor. "On Wednesday, the media and fans will be able to hear what's going on with Fedor from the man himself."
Emelianenko, considered by most pundits to be the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world, had been scheduled to fight top contender Josh Barnett. A win over Barnett would have marked the sixth former UFC heavyweight champion that Emelianenko has defeated in his career.
Unfortunately, Emelianenko was denied his opportunity after the California State Athletic Commission announced last Wednesday that Barnett would not be granted a license in time for the fight.
Emelianenko, 30-1, is perceived by many within the industry to be a free agent and it is believed he is being courted by every major MMA promotion in the world.
Already considered a superstar in many other countries, he has seen his popularity rise in the U.S. since defeating Tim Sylvia, a former UFC heavyweight champion, in just 36 seconds in July of 2008. Emelianenko followed up the dominant Sylvia victory with a first round knockout over Andrei Arlovski -- another former UFC heavyweight champion -- this past January.

He’s just going to say the same crap that Vadim Finkelchtein is saying. It be nice to have some good news out of it, but doubtful.

I guess Aleksander Emilianenko said that Vadim is using Fedor for his own buisness project and is basically using him and that the UFC has flexible contracts.
He said it in an interview, heres what he said!:
"You can deal with UFC, I know that they have flexible contract system. All these talks about "strict" contract terms with signing with UFC, come ONLY from Vadim Finkelstein, who wants to push his owns business projects through Fedor’s fights"

FEDOR IS BORING.
I don’t even want to read about Fedor anymore unless he comes to the UFC.
You really can’t be considered the best unless you consistently are beating the best in the fight game. He needs to fight some of the best guys in the UFC heavyweight division that is roid free.
by Bennie Blanco on Jul 28, 2009 3:07 PM EDT up reply actions
It is obvious that UFC has good contracts.
This is a money issue. Fedor is being controlled by guys who want a piece of the pie. Fedor isn’t about MMA because his manager isn’t about MMA.
His manager is about pushing M-1 or whatever the heck projects he wants.
So since Fedor is his pupet (as far as who and where he will fight), then Fedor is also about business projects more than MMA.
Go fight Hong Kong Chow the giant.

I agree with u Bennie B. but if people were to ask me who do I think would win between Brock and Fedor… I’d say Fedor without hesitation each and everytime.

His brother said that the UFC is fine.
I bet the UFC is even giving Fedor a special offer. But his management team is greedy and they want MORE MORE MORE.

Dave,
You never know until they step into the ring.
When Forrest first fought Shogun, almost everyone said he had no chance.
Lesnar has lunchbox fists. Anything can happen in MMA. That is why we love this sport. I think I would pick Fedor BUT Lesnar is 60 lbs of muscle heavier, this is “real” weight and will present problems for any man.
by Bennie Blanco on Jul 28, 2009 3:13 PM EDT up reply actions
i think the mma experts and analysts throughout the world feel that Fedor has fought top HW’s for a number of years now. is Dana White the only person on this planet who gets to decide who the top fighters are. Who knows, if Fedor goes to the ufc and fights a 5 fight veteran in Lesnar, a way over the hill Couture, an overrated and overhyped frank mir who probly cant even beat heath herring, he’s probably gonna face flack from the international community saying he wasn’t fighting top competition. fedor’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t

I know Fedor could cut weight to fight at 205. So, my question is, would he be as dominating at 205 as he is at HW.
I think it is safe to say the competition at LHW is better than the HW division, regardless of the promotion.
We have all demanded that BJ and A. Silva move up to test their p4p legitimacy, and are now asking the same of GSP.
If Fedor can drop to 205 and knock off some of the top 205lb fighters, I would be more inclined to call him the “over all” p4p best. At this point I’m still not convinced that he is more than the best HW in the world.
by Jrandolph on Jul 28, 2009 6:02 PM EDT up reply actions
Come on, Fed Feds. Come to the Promised Land and bring Mousasi and Belfort with you. Of the three big fish the UFC can hook out of Affliction’s muddied pond, Belfort is the only one I actually see happening right now.
And if this Finkelstein fuck is the guy keeping Fedor from ever fighting on the big show, Fedor needs to take some of that responsibility. What’s left for him outside the UFC? Overeem? OK, but will this guy ever fight in the US? Rogers? LOL. Bigfoot? Only in ’Roid-friendly promotions. Lashley? LOL again.
If Fedor wants to maintain his top HW status he needs to join the UFC. If he doesn’t really care about his status, as it appears right now, then so be it; but he will inevitably slide in the P4P rankings and rightly so.

And this one: "You can deal with UFC, I know that they have flexible contract system. All these talks about "strict" contract terms with signing with UFC, come ONLY from Vadim Finkelstein, who wants to push his owns business projects through Fedor’s fights"
NOW LISTEN TO YOUR BROTHER FEDOR
I HOPE THE MEDIA TALKS TO FEDOR AND ASKS HIM QUESTIONs ABOUT THAT CROOKED VADIM FINKELSTEIN
BUT ON The radio show I listen last night on this website said that and I agree with him that Fedor is a grown man and he can get rid of vadim and come to UFC if he wanted; I mean money wouldn’t be the issue or maybe it would be; its this cross promotional garbage; M-1 Global and Vadim saw elite XC and Affliction go under they don’t want the same ; only thing helping them is Fedor so they survive if they cross promote with UFC
I say what the hell cross promote for like 3 fights just to get fights happening then in the contract M1-Global has to go back out on its own and Fedor gets the option to remain in UFC or leave
or Fedor listen to you brother
And this one: "You can deal with UFC, I know that they have flexible contract system. All these talks about "strict" contract terms with signing with UFC, come ONLY from Vadim Finkelstein, who wants to push his owns business projects through Fedor’s fights"

No sh$t taco I can’t stand that the man is still ranked #1 by what he did back in Pride by some even though peaple or finaly starting to change their tone but there are still those out there that believe he can fight bums the rest of his life and stay there. If you don’t fight the #2 or even 3 or 4 ranked challengers you should not keep your ranking. AA and Tims weaknesses were exposed before they left the UFC now look at them, I have yet to see Fedor fight a modern day fighter I have more respect for Cro Cop and NOG. I know the Barnett fight was not his fault but him fighting anyone else outside the UFC is not a #1 HW championship fight just another padding the record fight. NOG is just as good as a fighter as he was in Pride but he has troubles against fighters with a good JJ and takedown defence that is becoming better and with today’s MMA fighters and something Fedor was great as well. Brock, mir, NOG, Carwin, Cain, Kongo and even old man couture can beat any of Fedors latest opponents hell they could and some have beat his Pride opponents.

ive heard that the ufc doesnt have a flexible contract system from many sources and have yet to find a source with an opposing viewpoint…
so if there is anyone out there who feels otherwise then let them standup and be quoted

I had a mysterious dream last night.
In the dream, a Baby-Huey looking character wearing MMA guy came to me and whispered in my ear. He had a Russian accent, and his breath smelled and he was all sweaty from practicing mixed martial arts….
And he came to me and said in a soft whisper:
"You can deal with UFC, I know that they have flexible contract system. All these talks about "strict" contract terms with signing with UFC, come ONLY from Vadim Finkelstein, who wants to push his owns business projects through Fedor’s fights"
And then he disappeared and I woke up from the dream covered in sweat. I was naked except for my old karate green belt, which was wrapped around my waist…. don’t ask how that happened, I don’t know….

did u guys here this?
A long-awaited agreement between the Ultimate Fighting Championship and the man considered the world’s best mixed martial arts fighter, Fedor Emelianenko, is expected to be announced by UFC President Dana White on Friday, a source with information about the negotiations told The Times today.
The source, who asked not to be identified because he’s not authorized to speak publicly about the dealings, called negotiations between the UFC and Fedor “very civil” just days after Fedor’s scheduled Affliction Trilogy fight Saturday against Josh Barnett was canceled.

I went there and couldn’t find anything? There first story is undelined with below..
It seems quite clear that as long as Fedor is managed by Vadim Finkelstein, aka the Russian Don King, that there will be no softening of the demands that have heretofore kept the world’s #1 heavyweight MMA fighter out of the world’s #1 MMA organization.

Fedor probably belongs to the mafia. He’s trying to escape but they got him by the cahoonas. He doesn’t want to be Putin’s pet. His brother knows what’s what and that is why he said what he said. If you don’t know what he said, look it up.

I heard it through the grapevine
"You can deal with UFC, I know that they have flexible contract system. All these talks about "strict" contract terms with signing with UFC, come ONLY from Vadim Finkelstein, who wants to push his owns business projects through Fedor’s fights"
BTW; the time reported UFC and Fedor close to signing a deal sa wut wicked awesome I so hope its truth, let it be true I have faith;
if its not true then thats it well never see Fedor in UFC
Listen to your brother fedor he said
"You can deal with UFC, I know that they have flexible contract system. All these talks about "strict" contract terms with signing with UFC, come ONLY from Vadim Finkelstein, who wants to push his owns business projects through Fedor’s fights"

to bennie blanco. u say fedor is boring. thats funny hes the most vicious and exiting fighter ever. his fights hardly go to a decision and end up in dramatic fashion. and what shit are you talking about?? hes fuckerd up half of whats in ufc anyways like coleman, herring, nuigerra, crocop,and more. so what u mean he has to fight good oppositionl.. the UFC heavyweight division sucks. randy couture an old man. MIR overrated. gonzaga another overrated heavyweight . fedor recently also fucked 2 UFC heavy’s tim silva ion 36 seconds and orlavski in 1st round. the only boring shit ass is you , gon fuck urself
