MMA Fans: Fedor signs with Strikeforce

Well looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and get showtime now.
I guess he'll have Overeem and Rogers to fight, but not much else.

Sounds like he'd rather be the "big dog" in a 2nd rate series than be the #2 guy in the premier series.

I don't think Fedor would keep Lesnar alive for more than :44 seconds or so. LOL

Dunno, he's apparently afraid to fight in the UFC ....

Dana White doesn't want to pay him the kind of money he wants to get paid. Plus isn't there something about advertising that Fedor's agent wants and Dana doesn't like it??

I know you don't believe that Scott.

But until they fight, all anyone can do is speculate.

If Fedor wants more $$$, how much can he make anywhere else?
UFC is the only big $$$ opportunity this joker will ever see.
He should jump at the chance to sign with UFC, but for some reason he
doesn't want to.
Hmmmmm

I think I stand by my first post.

From everything I've read the deal breaker was UFC's unwillingness to co-promote with M-1 Global (of which Fedor owns 20%). If that's true, Fedor will NEVER be in the UFC. Why would they (UFC) co-promote with M-1 when the only thing that M-1 is bringing to the table is Fedor? Dana and the UFC would have to be nuts to agree to what Fedor and M-1 are asking.
