Russian fighters TYPICALLY are involved in the underground and ALWAYS are connected. Their promoters are ALWAYS INVOLVED in the underground. I've talked to several Russian friends who all say the same thing. And when I say underground I mean cold-blooded the likes of which America knows not. M1 probably owns Fedor in more ways than we know and THAT'S WHY the M1-UFC copromotion issue is such a sticking point. UFC can no more divorce Fedor from M1 than Fedor can. If they want Fedor they have to give in to M1. What does M1 really have if they don't get the co-promotion deal?? Really. Period. I don’t think anyone here understands the fight game in RUSSIA.

I can't believe how absurd these comments are. I wonder if the commentators are Fedor fans now? "Hes got no skill he hasn't been challenged hes fighting trashcans" Ha, he doesn't fight mainstream because he is always training, its very hardcore training, spiritual and physical, not like most American athletes who step into the ring to dickslap each other until someone gets caught, hopped up on steroids to make their muscles bigger(Lesnar obviously, among others) but offering no actual improvements. Fedor is the complete fighter, body and mind come together in harmony. That is more than you can say about 99% of the MMA world. Lol, 2 years later… I can’t believe how absurd these comments are.

UFC is stuck in North America, and that means very little for the sport as global entity. fighters from say france, or holland, or italy are going to have a hard time making it into something like the UFC, while a global company would be much more accesible, which means the sport will grow worlwide, which means it will be stabalized for the long run. He's a martar for the sport, he gave up millions of dollars for the single reason of insuring the sports long gevity, credibility and prosperity.

Fedor did NOT want to fight in "everything" that is UFC,M1 etc. He HAD OBLIGATIONS to Russian Sambo and his country. He did not care about UFC money. Did you listen to what Fedor said in his interviews about UFC? I did and I understand both Russsian and English. And for those who say bad things about Fedor, I feel only sorry for you, if you think so little about Fedor, that would only reflect poor values. If you meet Fedor, how many of you will say all these garbage to the face of Fedor lol and without even knowing facts like Alexander does? Period. I agree completely with Alexander.

Guy has obligations to the Russian sambo, and to his country in general. His desicion shows his patrotism and dedication to the sport. And if UFC president White cared a little less about monopolizing the MMA industry and little more about the actual sport he would've honored his desicion and didn't restrict Fedor with his unilateral contract.
