man, Fedor's a d*mn *us*y, nothing else to be said about him. he was offered a contract no fighter has EVER been offered before, they even let him compete in sambo but noooooooooo, he has to have his stupid little piece of junk M1 crap co promote, i used to have some respect for fedor, but now its completely obvious he is ducking lesnar and the rest of the best competition in the UFC so he can fight cans, wash ups, or no names hyped up to be someone worth a damn. he doesnt want to lose and he knows he wont make it out of the UFC w/o losing to either lesnar, mir, carwin, or couture. simple fact, no one turns down that money if they want to fight. no one.

Rumor has it Fedor refused to sign over his "likeness rights". The UFC demands that their contracted fighters sign over all likeness rights. It's become especially strict since Affliction started their own promotion. Basically it makes it so that the UFC profits from the use of your name and image. It also make it so you have to ask the UFC's permission to endorse anything. This standard is about as retarded as the UFC owning the rights to any 8 sided cage, ring, mat or competative arena. If the cat wa just in it for thecash then I'd say he's a fool for passing it up. But in his situation, where money is no longer a concern... it may just be a matter of pride. The UFC did dog Fedor for a very long time. Maybe it's his turn to dog the UFC.

I think he may have dogged himself. A lot of what i have read on other chat rooms has been very negative towards Fedor. It seems as though nobody really cares to see him fight with Strikeforce. There are just not any fights that seem to intrest most of the public. Alister Overheem I guess but he hasnt fought since 2007. Anyway they wont be getting any of my money,and to be honest I hope Brett Rogers knocks his ass out and M-1 follows EliteXC,Bodog,Affliction,and the Dodo bird.

Fedor runs companies in the ground, requires too many resources to keep him for a small promotion.

Karma bump, IceMan... I agree.
