Any speculation on the possible fight between current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar versus undefeated former Pride heavyweight champion Fedor. Negotiations broke down because M1-Global wants a piece of UFC. UFC rebuilt itself successfully without any help from anybody.
from what i heard (dana white on the opie & anthony show a few weeks ago during the UFC100 weekend) talks broke down and Dana has had enough, he offered Fedor ALOT but they want all these "other" things which dana was glad to say yes to on some of them.
i remember M-1 advertising on the mat and on clothes and Dana was ok with that.
i think when it started to get to the point of splitting the $$ 50/50 for all ppv's with Fedor on it he just said NO.
there might be other stuff but it's just not fresh in my mind now.
Fedor owns a part of M-1 and them splitting the PPV $$ 50/50 Dana said was crazy cause M-1 is already getting advertising and such and now he "fedor" wants more on top of that. Dana said they tried REAL hard to get this thing done but in the end Fedor's "advisors" want too much as always and Dana said no deal.
dana wouldn't say it could never happen but he pretty much sounded like it was over,so if you want to see him fight pushovers go ahead cause he's not fighting top guys in the world not being in the UFC.
Thanks for the info...I did not know that Fedor owns a part of M1-Global. According to Yahoo Sports, the negotiation failure lies entirely on Fedor as the reporter claims that Fedor sat back and did nothing to push his promoter to make the fight happen. Dana was right in not giving in to M1's demands. Dana and his friends helped UFC out of oblivion into a premier powerhouse. As long as Affliction, Strikeforce, Elite XC, and others failing...Fedor and M1 has no choice but to renegotiate...Tito was with Affliction before and now back again with the UFC. Just a matter of time...
you post some stuff to help me remember,
Dana (cocky as he always is) said that it's "ok" cause M-1 will follow all the rest and be gone in due time and Fedor will have nowhere to go but UFC and then HE (dana) has/holds all the cards. (or whatever pun would be good for that setup)
Glad to be of help. Dana can be cocky at times but he has a knack for matching up good fights. The drawback at times that some fighter's concern would be that UFC would monopolize the whole MMA/BJJ world. As long as he remembers that UFC would be nothing without the Fight Fans. We, Fight Fans, want a damn good fight.
Feb is still just a maybe....
Yup, Fedor won against an inferior opponent, no surprise.
I can't wait for Swick vs. Hardy for number one contendership to GSP's welterweight gold. Neither have a chance against Georges but Mike vs. Dan should be fun and action packed. UFC 105 is free to Americans on Spike TV. Vera vs. Randy Couture also!!!!
Griffin has 0 KO power. I to hope he gets back on track and beats Tito in the rematch but a KO is not gonna happen.
I agree with Vera having a good shot against Randy as well. I don't know why Randy would take this fight. It does nothing for his legacy or current career.
brock may be out even longer i heard its MONO.
i had it when i was in the 4th grade i was out of school for 4 months!
what is this? is this your fight i know you said you were training in MMA.
