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.

There must be a lot more give in the ring's canvas because when Randleman slammed Fedor... had that been on the cage's canvas... game over.
