you can’t make someone a star that doesn’t want to be a star in MMA.. Biggest russian name who’s also best in media is Maria Sharapova and she’s lived most of her life in the US of course..

Show me another fighter who was never a “mainstream star” or a “big name” that garnered as much media and fan attention as Fedor.

Personally, if I were looking to always watch fighters that are the most mainstream, with the most star appeal….I’d only watch Lesnar or Kimbo fights. No thanks…..you can have them.

He just comes across as a total regular guy, letting kids skip in the same training session as him and saying he loves hanging around with his parents and stuff like that, truly honerable stuff!! Gotta love him, just hope he doesnt lose unless its to another legend any time soon cause people will just think he was all hype when he is bar far "The baddest man on the planet " imo and even if he looses he will still be one of my favourite fighters of all time.

Those two guys are like twins. I swear they were just separated at birth. One went to M-1….one went to the UFC.

How original.

If true it wouldn’t surprise me. All M-1 wants to do is bring Fedor into a promotion, plaster logos over a bunch of stuff and collect a shit load for not doing shit. God forbid something happen to Fedor, because if something does Vadim, Millen, and all the other croanies will be standing in the borscht line. Dana doesn’t have all of his eggs in one basket. Thats how him and Millen are different. Any ration thinking person can see that.
Also, one thing I never got is the mindset Millen has to think that Jerry sounds cooler than Gary.

Dana’s a dick and Millen’s a loser. But they aren’t the same, they don’t even have the same agendas. Millen is secured under the nut sac of one fighter. He doesn’t do anything for him and I doubt he collects a paycheck. All he does is get in the way and follow every word Fedor says. How is that comparative to Dana. Besides both of them being ass bags, I see no similarities.

You know he wouldn’t let that happen. There’s so many pros and cons of doing a one shot show with M1, I can’t figure out if it would be a good idea or not anymore. I am over seeing Fedor fight Brock, if it ever happens the excuses the losers fans are going to make just takes all the interest out of it. Just leave the Russian alone, he has earned the right to fight who he wants when he wants.

Fedor isn’t on American TV telling it like it is. No one can get a tape of any of his old fights because they are locked up. Casual fans are the money in this industry, and Dana White decides how they spend that money. If Fedor went to the UFC this would all end. I wouldn’t mind seeing Dana back pedaling if it were to happen.

No wonder Fedor won’t join the UFC when Dana says stupid shit like that, you don’t disrespect someone’s culture like that if you expect them to join your promotion. It’s ignorant comments like that drive me mad and that more than anything is why Fedor will never sign for the UFC, he’s too proud to work for someone who bashes his country and doesn’t need the money either as he’s a very wealthy man who lives a simple life. Respect is more important than money to Fedor and that’s something that Dana can’t understand.

Both Dana and Millen are as bad as each other at times, the $250,000 bet on Chuck winning the 2003 Pride MW GP sums them 2 up as people in a nutshell.

Dana is a master promoter but at times he lets his ignorance damage the validity of the sport and the UFC, you also have to take what he says with a pinch of salt, most of the talk by promoters is BS and is just done to hype up fights and fighters.

but yet has the crappiest management team on earth and doesn’t fight the best in his weight class as of late.
