Can you believe the nerve of this M-1 mouthpiece?

Evgeni Kogan Says Fedor Loss Doesn't Affect M-1 Global's Future (via ArielHelwani)


You only need to watch the opening couple statements from M-1 Global's Director of Operations Evgeni Kogan to see and hear enough.  I am shocked at the arrogance of this guy.  It it werent for Helwani, no one would probably interview this pr**k.  Above is the video of Ariel Helwani's "POST"  fight interview with Kogan .  Sorry this is short, but I mostly look forward to hearing opinions on this (insert expletive).   Can you believe this guy is telling Ariel when he should be interviewed?

Just the very beginning he seemed like an idiot

After the introduction he was fine.

The interview is pretty useless, he doesn’t know anything.

That sums it up

But it’s to be expected that he would act a little pissy after another Fedor loss. I was expecting worse.

If there was something that annoyed me it was his girly way of talking.

I used to always stick up for assholes like that in highschool

but sometimes they’d get on my nerves and let them get their asses kicked. Bring them down a notch, you know?

He thinks he is so IMPORTANT that he can make demands

I just couldnt beleive the arrogance of this pr!ck, telling Ariel “you better interview me before hand next time”. Maybe its just me, but this guy is a total douche. Then again we are dealing with M-1, so I guess you gotta expect a crazy Russsian

He did sound like a idiot at the beginning.

But not as big a douche as ive seen… For instance he’s not even in the same universe as jared shaw! Now that my friend is a douchebag!

I guess you gotta look at the company he keeps.....

Jerry Millen, Vadim Finkelstinken, ANY M-1 employee. I just find it ridiculis that they think they can use Fedor to get whatever they want from whoever they want it. I kind of wish Ariel wasnt as polite and professional as he usually is and went off on him. I wish he would of asked him how many other mma media has asked to interview him that is NON M-1-Strikeforce-Showtime related? And then told him he is lucky he is getting this much time.

goodbye M1 your done

With the win over the legend Matt Hughes the gates are slowly being greased. Soon it will be time to open the Shit gates once again.

Wow what an egomaniac

It’s a good job Ariel is a classy and composed guy otherwise this would have been a very short interview. As for the interview itself he gave us nothing on Fedor or M-1, I learnt more from Ariel’s questions than from the M-1 suit. No surprise that he didn’t admit that M-1 is in trouble now that Fedor has lost again though that would be a really stupid thing for a representative to say about their company.

"The fight of the decade would be me fighting my clone."

Dana was like a little kid on twitter last night

It was almost comical as I read his hours and hours and back and forth tweets between him & Fedor fans. Dana goes a little too far sometimes. He embarassed himself a little last night. as I am not a huge Fedor fan, he is 1 of the classiest ever and deserves the respect

by fightfan on Feb 13, 2011 7:09 PM EST up reply actions  

i don't think he was so bad

he answered questions honestly and directly… even as an M-1 spokesperson, he has to toe the line as far as the company… but he was very honest about fedor and his performance.

i think it was a good interview

and i agree that Fedor is one of the top 3 fighters to have ever fought in MMA. period

bailiff, whack his pee-pee

Pretentious...

And he straight up acts like the right hand man of a Bond villain, but if you listen to what he’s saying and get past his whole Euro-Metrosexual look he’s rocking, not such a bad guy.

not sure about Fedor coming to holland to train

Holland is a great place to sharpen your standup skills but not to improve your whole MMA game.

Other than Golden Glory there arent proffesional MMA gyms in holland that will give you a great enviroment to reinvent yourself. Even Struve will get in to trouble training with Team Schrijber because he doesnt have quality sparringpartners.

I really hope Fedor considers to train in the US. I think Xtreme Couture would be a great gym for him.
