Quoteworthy:
"I think June, July is realistic (for Emelianenko's return). It's not 100 percent. Don't take this as a fight announcement, but I think during the summer. After the CBS show, we thought that the (Strikeforce) terms needed a little bit tweaking -- nothing major, just a little bit of tweaking. So, we had a round of negotiations with Strikeforce. Everything went positively. We're pretty much at the end. For us, it's really important that the M-1 Global brand is acknowledged on these co-promotion events. As much as the partners made a lot of effort to acknowledge the co-branding, the media basically picked up on the fact that it was Strikeforce and kind of forgot about everything else, which wasn't the most ideal for us."
Evgeni Kogan, M-1 Global's Director of Operations, dismisses reports that promotion star Fedor Emelianenko is out of action due to internal conflict or a chronic hand injury. Instead, Kogan reveals that the co-promotion agreement between his company and Strikeforce needed a bit of "tweaking," that perhaps the existence of M-1 was being overshadowed by the glitz and glamor of the Strikeforce presence on CBS. Now with both sides crossing their T's and dotting their I's, "The Last Emperor" could return by July 2010 to answer the call of Fabricio Werdum. Any Maniacs out there confident in this timetable? Or is this a classic case of "I'll believe it when I see it?"

Call him out for his dumb BK Penn chants all you want, its warranted, but he is trying more now for sure. Let up a bit on his valid points at least. He is only 19 guys. Or 18. He works at safeway as a bag boy for fuck sakes lol. Give him another chance.

He has been given at least a dozen chances, and still even after what happened...
He has come back on and started with this BBBB JJJJJ shit again. I think the word of the day should be IGNORE! Maybe if and thats a big IF he can string two sentences together without gurgling BJ PENN’s nuts in his mouth then maybe a little respect will be warranted but until then i will be ignoring his or any other irrelevant immature posters.

of course Fedor wants to stay in SF
he doesn’t have to risk ruining his record, doesn’t have to fight anyone in the top 10, much less the top 5, and he keeps all his fans on his nuts!
he hasnt changed
he was telling some newbie last night that he was the boss around here and the most hated on mania…

Your description was on the button.

UFC Nuthuggers are 100% IGNORANT.
Uneducated MMA fans often get mad at M-1 Global for pulling Fedors “strings”.
The fact is M-1 is an extension of Fedor.
Fedor is one of the owners of M-1. M-1 was created to extend Fedor’s brand to create a MMA mixed martial arts promotion. In 2008 M-1 began holding MMA contests all around the world, and last year the 2009 shows aired on HDnet. The events are broadcast in over 100 countries. Over 30 countries have applied to compete in the 2010 season, which will be aired on HDnet.
M-1 is basicly Fedor’s retirement and insurance policy. So when he’s done fighting, he has created another MMA brand (M-1 Global) to support his later years, as well as his legacy.

WAR Justbleed!
Until companies like SF and DREAM still are illing to give Fedor what he wants….we are dumb to blame him. If I was in his shoes I would probably do the same thing…although of course the fan in me wants him to be in the UFC. Ultimately as long as he is fighting the likes of: werdum,Rogers,Bigfoot,Alistar,Mir,Carwin,Barnett,Brock,Cain,Kongo,Arlovski….then I am happy!
it's SF fault
if SF was like UFC and wasnt willing to give Fedor/M-1 so much power then we wouldnt have this probem.

So you'd accept a contract, then refuse to fight until your contract is renegotiated because your management team are upset that the media ignored their "co-promotional" efforts?
Come on John, this is inexcusable behaviour. Right now he isn’t fighting period and the reasons this M-1 rep gave were horrendous. What do M-1 and Fedor actually want? Promotions can’t control the media so I have no idea why they were trying to blame SF for that, they’re lucky that they got any co-promotion rights just for providing 2 (now 1) fighter(s) and some foreign TV deals. They want to get paid extortionate amounts of money without doing the work and I’m sick of it. Everyday that Fedor remains with these crooks I lose more respect for him, as I would for any fighter that behaved this way.

I know how that negotiation went!
(in a russian accent) Mr. Coke…. bend over…..
Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Kick his stupid ass and maybe he will leave you alone.
M1 didn't get enough advertising LOL
I would like to see M1 put on a event with high priced fighters LOL. They can co promote but can’t promote themselves, how does that work?
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
Oh man
I saw their “Breakthrough” event. Good fights, but absolutely horrible production. I had to sit through a shuttle launch for about 20mins just to give you an idea. Seriously, M-1 had a shuttle launch run in the middle of the broadcast. The company is a joke.
lol I saw that live.
It was the worst production value in history. Fights weren’t the greatest either ( i remember some grade C lethargic heavyweights ) but the way it was presented was absolutely horrible. The crowd didn’t even care for it (quietest crowd ever).
2010:
Lesnar > [Carwin > Mir] ---> Lesnar > [Velasquez] ---> Lesnar > [JDS > GG]
But really can one fighter be worth all this trouble for SF?
Thats some serious bagage Fedor is bringing with him I just can’t believe another company was willing to do this? SF should just cancel the deal and let M1 run their own show.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
I really hope...
that the April 17th CBS card is amazing and Strikeforce gets amazing fans and recognition that day.
Then maybe they can kick M1 to the curb and Fedor would have no choice but to come to the UFC. I doubt he would go fight in Japan with no drug testing. And Fedor in the UFC is what everyone wants anyways.
2010:
Lesnar > [Carwin > Mir] ---> Lesnar > [Velasquez] ---> Lesnar > [JDS > GG]
I like how M-1 says SF is taking all the credit
if they had actually watched the show on TV, they would know that this wasn’t M-1 OR SF. It was “CBS FIGHT NIGHT”…Goldberg mentions Xience and Tapout WAY more than CBS mentions Strikeforce. This is why the UFC isn’t on Network TV yet. Dana might settle for “UFC on NBC”, but he’d never let one of his events be called “NBC FIGHT NIGHT”
I like Fedor but want to see him fight in the UFC, not to prove to me he is the best, cause I think that anyway, just want to see him in the UFC...
Because this debate is getting old and so is The Emperor, and the last thing I want to see is Fedor fighting in the UFC in a year or two and then losing, it would just fuck up his legacy, although M-1 are doing a good enough job of doing that themselves!!
"Champions are not made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision." -Muhammad Ali
no no no you dont wanna see fedor get his ass kicked because the sport is evolving and he is not..
he wouldnt look so fast and powerful fighting guys like cain v,shane carwin,brock lesnar,or frank mir.. i believe fedor is actually younger than a lot of ufc guys fact is fedor hasnt looked good at all in america except the timmy fight which ray mercer dispatched of timmy faster than he did…
so all in all fedor hasnt impressed in america at all rogers was pretty dominant, so was arlovski til that bomb landed not saying he sucks, but he isnt as badass as people think

Fedor always wins, thats all that matters!!
He isn’t worried about a six pack, highlight reels, been known as the best or any of that stuff. He looks terrible in alot of his fights and then pulls out the W, that is what Fedor is all about, that is why he is so mysterious, thats why he is The Emperor..lol

He hasn’t looked good at all in America except Timmy? So finishing 3 straight fights against quality opponents counts as not looking good?

he wasnt dominant in those fights either though in fact was behind and his fans excuse “he had a bad night but still won”

You obviously know nothing of Fedor past or present.
Simple as.

Randy if you knew anything about Fedor you would know he rarely looks good in a fight. Unless its against miss matched opponents. But one thing you do know is he hasn’t lost. No matter how bad he’s getting beat on or dominated.

"Champions are not made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision." -Muhammad Ali
brock looked bad when he was tapping to that knee bar. Cain v looked bad when he was rocked and dropped by Kongo
Fedor looked real nice when we was tossing the bigger man to the ground easily.
He looked even nice with his hand raised after the fight(31 times)
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
And the winner is Brendog by UD.

rarely looks good in a fight....
how can you rarely look good in a fight when you fight cans and freakshows and guys from lower weight classes?? i think that statement straight from a fedor lover says it all
when atleast half of your wins are against freaks, cans , or lhw/mw’s and you don’t look good what that say about the guy?
everyone wants to jump on A. silva for a bad performance against letis (whom just dropped to his back the whole fight) but yet you can praise fedor for winning and not looking good?? how does that make any sense whatsoever????
When he fights cans and freakshows he looks really good lol what are you talking about?
JASONFAHQ is a troll
yeah the way
he just walked over to hong man choi and tried for an armbar about 6 times was pretty impressive,, ,NOT
whoopidy doooooooooooooo
he may aswell been fighting a guy outta the crowd!! what is hong now 2-1 and one win is jose canseco???
Well...
Cain looked crap against Congo of all people – JDS didn’t impress against Cro Cop (before which I thought he looked like a great prospect) who he struggled to finish despite Cro Cop looking like he’d rather be fishing – Carwin was getting schooled by Gonzaga until he got the KO (sound familiar to a certain Russian?) and I’m yet to be convinced by Brock, beating an ageing Randy, going 1/1 with Mir and getting a decision against Herring is certainly not enough to say he’s the No.1 out there while slagging of Fedor’s achievements.
Your have a great point jimrod
The consensus though is 5 out of the top 6 fighters in the world are in the UFC so there status will fall little by a loss to a top five fighter and expected to be a close fight. Fedor is expected by most to win with little problems against the calibure of fighters he’s facing were against top guys in the UFC it would be more split on who would win. Example 99 out of 100 expect Fedor to win against Werdum. Now lets say Brock vs. Cain were it would be maybe 60 out of 100 for Brock.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
That's very true Puck.
I also think some of these guys should actually seek out Fedor as every fighter knows he’s still the No.1 until he gets beat – it’s not like the UFC is paying many of them the big bucks to stay, in-fact Strikeforce pays better on most counts!
I know I wouldn’t be satisfied being UFC HW champ knowing the chubby Russian is still out there – kinda like winning the special Olympics.
SF pays better LOL Don't be foolish now Jimrod
They offered M1 the co promotion wich in the end is more money but for everyone else the top UFC guys get more than the top SF guys as the lower ranked UFC guys get more than the lower ranked SF guys. Have you not seen the salaries.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
At this rate Fedor won't be fighting anytime soon anyway
Him and M-1 are showing no respect to SF or Werdum, after this pathetic display I doubt that any top HWs would leave the top promotion just so that they can wait around for months whilst Fedor’s contract is “tweaked”.

SF made good moves Ill give them that
But taking away these top fighters shows they are trying to compete with the UFC, and in my opinion thats a bad idea. The older guys might like fighting once or twice a year but that usually comes when they have nothing to prove LOL.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
And with that I've lost all respect for Fedor
It’s too late to “tweak” a contract, you can’t just decide that you don’t like the terms anymore. That’s unbelievable, Fedor refused to fight because his management were upset that the US media didn’t mention them enough times when they were hardly co-promoting the card in the first place (providing 2 fighters, one of whom has left your group anyway, and logos is not co-promoting). Either Fedor is an absolute moron who has no clue about his finances or career or else he’s just as shady and crooked as the rest of these clowns. Clearly none of these idiots give a toss about SF, the fans or putting on great fights, it’s all about the money to them. I’ve tried to be patient with Fedor and M-1 but enough’s enough.

calm down bro
we dont know the first thing about their relationships. THe vibe i get is that M-1 are some crooked KGB m-fers and they pretty much do everything and then call up fedor in stary oskol and say june 2010 youre fighting and thats that.

i think hes just loyal
but loyal like a dog is loyal. kick your dog, and an hour later that dog is wagging his tail and wanting you to pat him on the head (not that i beat my dog). Fedor is so loyal to M-1 that his vision is clouded. i can respect that kind of loyalty, but come on man, realize that M-1 is poison and drop them. i personally wouldnt be as upset as most if he stays in SF, cause i think competition is a great thing for MMA fans and fighters, and SF needs some big names. but for your sake and the sake of the sport, lose these clowns. (good term w-s).
just my humble opinion.

i think this negotiation thing they just did makes dana white look like less of an asshole btw fedor has like a controlling interest in the m-1 brand it’s why he makes so much extra money them co promoting is actually good for him it isn’t like it was for mousasi who got nothing extra
by randy murders on Mar 9, 2010 11:37 AM EST up reply actions
No doubt!
If you doubt fighter, well, than you just don’t know that much about MMA. The bottom line is no matter who you put Fedor against he’s probable to win more than he is to lose – I said “probable”
But let’s get one thing straight. A CONTRACT IS A CONTRACT. There is no tweaking once both parties have signed the dotted line. The fact that they had to resort to it shows me that A) They’re really greedy and see that they can benefit by strong-arming SF and B) Their management was incompetent to properly negotiate in the first place before they signed to get them “FAIR” terms. IMO i say it’s a lot of both and quite frankly i’m getting sick of it and am starting to care less one blog post at a time. Furthermore, CBS is bigger than SF, UFC, and M1 combined. I think they could really careless about what Fedor wants. In the end SF gets screwed and in turn so do we as the fans that have been asking for Fedor to fight the best he can. I don’t necessarily even think Fedor is looking out for himself right now as is with his existing terms. He’s making probably 2-3mil just off fighting once a year at max. Even if he only made half of what he’s making with SF he gets 3-4 fights a year not to mention the merchandising and mass marketing behind the UFC. He’d make substantially more than say Chuck Liddell.
If Fedor is looking out for his future, why not come to the UFC and work on his image, silence all critics by beating the best, and cement his legacy as the best of the best. That sounds like a better foundation to launch his money losing M-1 global to me.
Otherwise, I really don’t care that much anymore. And I was one of the first around my MMA peers and friends to go “Hey, do you know this guy Fedor? Ever heard of him? This guy fights in pride is a wrecking machine”
Exactly
Agreed on all accounts, one of the few posts that gives Fedor the credit he’s due as a fighter and accepts that “tweaking” an agreed contract is completely unprofessional and is an absolute farce. Shame that more people can’t see the truth because of their insane love or hate for Fedor.

delaying fights and ducking the great Heavy Weights in the UFC. It’s time for him to step up.
says Ducknow.
Fedors the best HW in the world, thats the majority consensus. So why is it his duty to ‘step up’
the other HWs in the world should step up to fight Fedor like randy tried.
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.

Simple
Times change and his status as the best is questioned, the best fighter he has beat to date is NOG and we all know how NOG is doing against the next generation of fighters. you can live in the past all you want but the win over NOG is becoming less and less worthy of #1 status.

"Champions are not made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision." -Muhammad Ali
yeah but who is out there can somebody make a case for being better than Fedor
especially if he stays undefeated. especially if he keeps finishing all of his fights convincingly against top 10 fighters.
I would love to see him fight the UFC’s best. but its probnably never gonna happen and he probably will retire unbeaten and he probably will go donw as the best hw ever. and people will definietly still hate.
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
Hard to argue with this post either, ye both make good arguements....
It is easy to have mixed feelings when it comes to Fedor Emelianenko. He is one of my favourites, and I will always like and respect him, I just want him to fight the likes of JDS, Cain, Brock so that we can cement his legacy as the best eva!
"Champions are not made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision." -Muhammad Ali
It may be hard but fact remains at one time a huge majority consensus had him at the top
Yeah it’s hard to take him out of the #1 spot but as time goes on the consensus is shrinking because he has not faced the consensus of best competition. Can not fighting consensus best in the world take you out of the #1 spot? I think so but again any ratings given are opinion unless the fighters face eachother thats all it will ever be and opinions are much closer than ever before.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
easy he couldnt finish nog, yet 2 guys in the ufc already have
and fedor hasnt impressed in his wins lately, until he lands a haymaker he looks like garbage he isnt exactly doing the gsp dominate and win, or brock hammer fist of doom and win, hell even carwin and mir have been more impressive same with cain who has what 1 decision win lately? fighting once an effing year should mean you look amazing in the fight not like you trained for 2 weeks
fedor needs to pull his head out of his ass or hes getting embarassed in his next fight you cant fight guys like werdum and overeem looking half trained

Nog
has had beatdowns for 10 years, they take their toll – I could kick the shit out of Bruce Lee’s corpse but it doesn’t make me a better martial artist than him. To say that the UFC guys are better because they’ve finished Nog is a non-argument. Herring lasted longer than your beloved Randy against Lesnar – therefore Herring is better than Randy.
To say that fighters have not improved since Pride is pretty naive too jimrod
The quantity and quality of fighters have greatly improved since the old UFC and Pride days.

Aye Puck, but...
I don’t think the heavyweights are particularly better – the guys in Pride were animals.
I DO think BJ, GSP, Silva and Machida/Shogun are very much the cream of the crop, but the HW division still needs time.
not sure about that
I think it easily the strongest its ever been.

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
Dude
easy he couldnt finish nog, yet 2 guys in the ufc already have
The Nogueira of 6 years ago is not the same as the Nogueira of today, anybody who knows jack about MMA knows that. If that’s what you’re basing this on then think again.
I personally don’t know whether Fedor is the best HW in the world right now. His last three fights have been against top ten guys and he’s finished all of them…
The thing that people conveniently forget about Tim is that his last fight before Fedor was UFC title shot. No Fedor is not in the UFC and won’t ever be, he owns 10% of M-1, just like Dana owns 10% of the UFC. As such he will do what’s best for him and his, just like Dana will do the same. You saying that Fedor looks half trained kind of shows me that you don’t know much about him, go watch some of his fights from the last 10 years and you’ll see that he has always fought the same.
I am not willing to say who the best HW in the world is right now. There are too many fights that need to happen in that division right now to answer that question, but without doubt Fedor is the best MMA HW of all time. Show me somebody with a better record…

Agreed
As much as Fedor and M-1 piss me off I can’t seriously bash the guys record or status as the best HW of all time. However, if he continues to waste his time “tweaking” his contract instead of taking fights then his career won’t end on the high that his talent deserves. I have a lot of respect for Fedor the fighter but none whatsoever for his management or the way that they do business.

Decent point Brendog
Except a VAST majority of the best heavywieghts are in the UFC and right now the BEST heavywieght is there too, Lesnar. I like Fedor better but he isn’t fighting top competition.

Time to open the Shit-gates....
IMO JDS could be regarded as a more dominant HW right now, and Brock as Champ and all as he is, is slowly being over-shadowed as one of the most feared HW’s out there. I reckon JDS would pose more problems for Fedor than Brock would.

Than any fighter has in sometime. How good is rogers is yet to be seen you think he can only get better.

Rogers poses a problem for anyone imo, he earned my respect during the Fedor fight...
Shame he lost it straight away with his antics on the mic and during the press conference afterwards.

haha funny pal.
I agree with Brock being ranked number 2 based on his ability, potential, size, and athleticism. But the guy has 5 fights against decent competitiona nd hasnt fought in almost a year.
a far cry from the best HW, he needs to come back strong
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
He will have to prove his status for sure as do most fighters
But say beats Mir again and loses to Cain who is now is rated by most in the top five at least he’s facing the best, what does beating Werdum really prove?
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
mir wont get passed carwin, its gonna be similar to the torres vs benavidez fight where hes worried to much about his next opponent
i think cain v is getting the fights to early but i love the guy, he needs to lean out a little bit though if he lost some flab man that guy would be unstoppable but he trains with kos and fitch thats his biggest flaw, i used to like the aka guys but now they kind of piss me off and i really dont know why i just hate them everytime i see them fight i hope they get knocked out (except cain)

I Disagree
I will be cheering for Carwin but I Think Carwin gets outclassed in this one by Mir. Mir has more ways to win. Mir can win on the ground and on the feet. Might not have 1/2 punch KO power like Carwin but he can clip Carwin and finish on the ground much like Mir did to Kongo.

What's worse is that he won't fight Werdum
Instead he wants to renegotiate a contract after 1 fight because the media didn’t mention M1 enough. Laughable.

Beating Werdum proves that Fedor has given up fighting top 10 fighters
Not that he has much of a choice – there arent any left outside of the UFC. Rogers is NOT top 10. Werdum is NOT top 10. Barnett and Overeem cant fight in NA. Fedor has run out of former UFC champs and will have to go back to beating on Hong Man Choi or maybe Bob Sapp.
But at least he will stay undefeated….

The Champion of a Weight Class
in the organization with the best fighters in that weight class has got to be #1 and since there is no Pride anymore there really is no debate who has the best fighters. That is why Brock is #1 but if he (and hopefully when) fights Fedor I will cheering for Fedor, so don’t try and peg this as a Brock nut hugging instance.

that has some validity to it
but TUF 10 was made for Roy to come in and win it. Him v Rogers is a good fight, Nelsons a great fighter. Brett has the skills to KO him and decent enough sub defense (or escaping power) to not get caight. and Roy has the tools to beat him also
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
Roy doesn't get the respect because of his appearance
He should of never been on TUF as he is already proven a top 20 fighter at the least. Him against Werdum, Overeem, big Foot, Yvel, Rogers AA, Couture to name a few would be competitve fights. Not saying Roy would win them all but he can hold his own.

I respect Roy but he lost to Arlovski, Rothwell and Monson. So it’s really hard for me to think he can beat Rogers let alone submit him.

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
He got screwed in those fights
The stand-up against AA was atrocious, I’ve never seen someone got stood up from side control before and it cost Roy his chance at winning by giving AA the unfair advantage. The only stand-up that I’ve seen worse than that was the infamous Baroni-Jansen fight in Cage Rage, when Phil got stood up from mount.
As for Monson that was a terrible decision and the Big Ben defeat was controversial as well. Nelson has been the victim of poor decisions for a while now and it’s nice to see him get his shot at the big time, he’s certainly got the talent to do well.

Fedor's ranking as the number 1 heavyweight is definitely NOT consensus
He certainly WAS the best HW in the world, but he cannot maintain that spot fighting outside of the UFC any longer. There are only a couple of fights left for Fedor outside of the UFC, and probably only 1 that people actually care about. That number one spot will be up for grabs very soon. Fedor is hiding behind his undefeated record – he would not have an easy time in the UFC like he is in Stikefarce fighting glorified cans like fucking Rogers.

Agreed on Rogers,
I think he’d give most UFC heavyweights an ass-whooping. JDS would be an interesting match-up, I’d rate them about equal.
I think Mir would beat Rogers
he might get a little busted up during the fight, but he’d get it done. Carwin is the most comparable UFC fighter to Rogers.
Fedor as the number one HW is consensus
give me a website or MMA ranking (not your own) where he is not the number one HW

And Randty failed....

the better HW's may be in the UFC
but the BEST HW isnt. so it should be the other way around
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
hes fought the best earlier in his career and beat them
he hasnt lost and is fighting top 10 calbier fighters.
This is all of course a matter of opinion but by your logic how then are the best HW in the UFC if nobody beat Fedor then?
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
that's retarded Duck
who else can you say is the best…because we can immediately say, “how can HE be the best when he hasn’t beaten the best.” Until somebody beats Fedor, or a list of more and better fighters than he’s beaten…there’s no reasonable alternative to calling Fedor the best.
Because a lot more guys have gotten in MMA in the last few years. MMA has evolved since the old days when Fedor was beating everybody.10 caliber fighters aren’t Tim Syliva and Andre Aorlovski. Maybe they were four years ago…. but not now.
The best guys are in the UFC at this moment, not Strikeforce. I think the top 5 HW’s in the UFC could beat Fedor. Lets get his ass to the number one MMA organization in the world and we’ll see who’s right! To bad he’ll stay where he’s safe.
Randy "The Natural" Couture talks about Fedor Emelianenko, and thinks that he should "step up and be willing to fight top level guys again."
Randy speaks from experience. He was UFC Champ and walked away from the belt to fight Fedor. But the UFC lawyers kicked his ass before he could get to the ring. Witnessing that debacle may be part of the reason Fedor won’t sign with the UFC. He’s got enough “Big Brother”s to worry about already.
really so lets say anderson silve just fights.....
lets says guys straight out of the TUF house or even out of some minor league mma group fighting in local bars and casinos would he remain the top MW in the world???? i don’t think so the fact is FEDOR Fans will say whatever they feel neccesary at the time to justify him dodging the top HWs yeah he fought a handful of top guys 5+years ago , but who has he fought lately? and who has not beat those same guys as of late?/?
Oh boy, lemme guess
Lemme guess, M-1 wanted more money. I don’t get it personally. How is it a co-promotion when you only put up some broadcast rights in a few countries (mainly Russia) and Fedor? That’s not co-promotion to me and shouldn’t even be considered one. M-1 = crooks. Plain and simple. If I had been Coker, I would’ve told them no. Don’t be shocked if Fedor doesn’t fight in July… or ever again for Strikeforce.
Exactly they couldn't promote their own event
But you have to give them credit for finding a company willing to, lucky for them they found another promotion to make their brand more money.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
Exactly
They’re a joke. I don’t get it how they’re able to get these much larger promotions to pick them up though. I understand that Fedor is considered the #1 fighter and all, but is he really worth all the trouble that M-1 brings? I don’t think he is. I mean you’ve got: crooked bosses, co-promotion, irregular fighting, picking opponents, etc. That’s not worth it.

Shyamalan's best by far!
I’m looking forward to his new Trilogy, The Last Airbender. The cartoon was filled with awesome tidbits of cultural anthropology, asian mythology, and elemental philosophy, and kung-fu action. Shymalan saw it and decided to put his own work aside and dedicate the next 6 years to bringing “the most awesome mythology I’ve ever seen” to the big screen as a live-action film. As long as he leaves out the slapstick kid humor, it should be awesome.
It is a kids series and they will want the bad humor...
But I found it funny (my wife did not) that Friday date night got postponed til 9 p.m. so my six year old daughter had someone to watch the new episodes of Ang with. Since I set the precedent, I am now stuck with iCarly on Fridays at 8.
The trailer gives me goosebumps. I have a feeling it wil be his crowning achievement.

2 years ago the M-1 Global Challenge was actually pretty good.
I tried watching the 2nd season, but it got worse and I couldnt take it anymore.

I remember liking the LHW that was fighting for Red Devil but I can’t recall his name right now.

SO they crowned Fedor as the Heavyweight champion of the world. But Strikeforce is thinking of having its own heavyweight title fight? So what happens if a guy from Strikeforce (example: Werdum) happens to somehow submit Fedor? Now that fighter is the heavyweight champ for M1 but has a Strikeforce contract?
Im almost hoping to see something like this go down only because it would essentially be the complete dismantling of M1.

Jesse,
I know it’s easy to pull a quote from Sherdog’s reporters, but why not educate your readers and do an article on the relationship between M-1 and Fedor?
Uneducated MMA fans often get mad at M-1 Global for pulling Fedors "strings", and you just stand there pulling quotes from other MMA news sites.
The fact is M-1 is an extension of Fedor. Fedor is one of the owners of M-1. M-1 was created to extend Fedor’s brand to create a MMA mixed martial arts promotion.

M1 is a stupid name
During these Affliction events, I had no idea what M1 was. Until I started to really read MMA news every day at work and during the Fedor negotations I didn’t know M1 was a promotion.
Change the god damn name if you want someone to recognize you.
Plus, if a regular Strikeforce event, it’s telecast and all that stuff is exactly the same as a M1 & Strikeforce, how can the people recognize the M1 brand?
Basicly I think, no one knows what M1 is except for the hardcore fans who know M1 is Fedor and a greedy guy ruining everything.
Fedor is the best till proven otherwise! He beat the best fighters in the world!
Who do U guys want fedor 2 fight? Brock , Cain , & jds rite? No doubt they R the best fighters in the UFC but 2 say any 1 of those fighters is above fedor is ridiculous! Fighters has more finishes & less losses then all those fighters combined! Fedors been proving himself for more then a decade & now he’s not the best anymore cuz in the past year a couple of fighters have been on a tear?! Give me a f’ing break. Is hendog dodging fights cuz he went 2 strikeforce ? Hell no he’s not & neither is fedor! They have their own reasons Y they’re not in the ufc.
Fedor is ducking Werdum at the moment, that is my main problem with him
He’s showing no respect for a talented fighter.

"We just had our best season (of TUF) last season and it was season 10"
"Nogueira is probabaly the best HW of all time"
Dana White, proving that he's clueless about Australian sports, has never heard of Fedor and is still trying to hype up TUF 10.
I think it's just his shitty management!
He’s not ducking werdum in fear of losing o because top comp. Werdum was 1 fight away from a title shot in the ufc b4 he underestimated a NO name opponent & came in 250 lb tub of goo. & for sum reason thought he was a muay Thai specialist that night. Werdum is still top level comp IMO
Werdum is still a good fighter, albeit a dumb and lazy one
His striking is poor but he proved at the ADCC tournament that his BJJ is still world class and he’s looked good aside from the baffling performances against AA and JDS. However I’m very unimpressed with Fedor and his management trying to piss about with a contract that they agreed to. Fedor’s not scared of anyone but he also doesn’t seem to respect anyone either, his behaviour has been shameful.

But all this doesn't matter because
He’s just about out of fights and he will have to retire or goto the big show. So we will get what we want.

I would like to see him face the winner of Rogers and Overeem I'm asuming Rogers again, after that your right
Not much left maybe Hendo if Henderson wins his next two fights?

If Fedor leaves Strikeforce, Hendo could end up with 3 belts.
He’s a shoe-in against Sheilds and I’d give him 50/50 odds against Mousasi and Overeem.
A disappointed fan..
Hey, guys.
Long time reader, first time poster.
I just had to sign up and get this off my chest regarding Fedor, UFC and M-1 Global.
English is not my native language so don´t kill me if my spelling isn´t perfect.
I´m a big MMA fan and I know that I´m not the only one that wants to see Fedor fight in the UFC. I´m not one of those guys that´s pissed off at Fedor, M-1, Dana White or the UFC.
I´m just…disappointed.
I understand that Fedor has a stake in M-1 and wants to secure his future financially and that´s completely understandable. The thing that bothers me is that how can a world class athlete, like Fedor, not wanna test himself against the best?
Where´s his competitive fighting spirit? Forget about the money, forget about your nearly flawless record, forget about the fans. Just do it for yourself, man. Just do it for the competition.
I know that if I was a great basketball player, I would wanna play in the NBA.
I´m not saying that he´s just been fighting cans cause that´s not true at all but we can probably all agree that the most exciting matchups for him are in the UFC. I just can´t understand how a great competitor like Fedor can just think about the money and not the competition. Like I said, I just feel disappointed.
Hopefully he´ll someday sign with the UFC so we can all see some of our dream matchups but I ´m afraid it´ll be too late when he does finally sign that UFC contract.
Yeah I’m with you. But “someday” better come soon. His biological clock is ticking.
JASONFAHQ is a troll
good post IceCold
I agree 100 % i hope its soon so we get the prime Fedor
Open up the Shit Gates and God Bless Marv
Some will say why should Fedor go to them he's number one they should have to come to him?
And you put it well Ice the big league’s are the UFC not one man.

Welcome...great first post!!!
In my jaded view, money ruins everything noble about sports. I have accepted that the only real competition is for the almighty doller, Pound, Euro, etc. whatever your currency may be. By accepting this, I vote for the good and the bad of mma through my wallet. Affliction shirts are gay (even gayer on my 38 year-old body), I don’t buy them. UFC 108 looked shabby, I didn’t buy it (and regret it). I was a fan of Sherk, and that went out the window when he tested positive.
I will never, ever buy anything M-1 Global until Fedor fights in the UFC, or M-1 becomes a real promotion and signs the guys Fedor should be fighting. (like that is going to happen)
BTW, you type much better than I do and English is my first language. Kudos to you for stepping out of your comfort zone.

As much as Dana white has bashed & disrespected fedor how can any1 blame him.
Look at hendog, he’s not dodging fights at all. He got screwed out of a title shot & then disrespected. If Dana really wanted 2 prove fedor isn’t the best he wud copromote for 1 ufc & have his main HW fight fedor for 5 rounds. But he won’t do it cuz he knows fedor wud destroy the best they have. They R all gr8 & they all have a chance against fedor but is brocks 5 fights , cains 8 fights, & jds 9 fights is enuff experience 2 take on fedor rite now? Maybe but I doubt it! I wana see fedor on the ufc more then anybody but I see where he’s coming from.
M1 proves it's out for itself
These guys don’t care about Fedor. All they care about is ther brand. Fedor needs to wise up and get a real manager who wants the best for Fedor. “For us, it’s really important that the M-1 Global brand is acknowledged on these co-promotion events.” That’s BULL. If M1 wants to be a fight orginization, then hold your own events, and stop trying to leverage Fedor get you name in lights. That’s why Fedor never made it to the UFC they wanted a 50% stake in the UFC for one fighter, and to Dana White’s credit he told M1 to go fly a kite. Strike force knew they couldn’t compete with the UFC without a Fedor so they agreed to give up half their orginization to have Fedor under their brand.
ahhhhhhh Frack it
We can wish in one hand and crap it the other and see which one fills up first. Only time can tell If The Man will come to the big show.
