I’m really tired of watching that bald-headed idiot White talk tough. That fool has to keep putting his ugly mug in the middle of everything - sorta like a white-man’s Don King, without the hair, of course…

i’d love to see this. i wonder why fedor wouldn’t sign with the ufc. did they low ball him. lesnar got 1/4 of a million for his one minute in the cage. what did they offer him less and if so why? lesnar had one MMA fight before the mir fight why is he getting payed that much? you are paying the wrong fighters the BIG pay checks. lesnar hasn’t proved himself and still hasn’t. randy and fedor need to fight somewhere to see who the best in the world is. enough with dana saying the heavywieghts are stacked. enough with the lies dana try telling the truth for once. and pat he lies that is not hard to do is it? i can do it watch. i’m the smartest man in the world. you people just hang on every word dana says. his job is to lie. and yes he is good at it.[/quote]

Trust me they offered big bucks to Fedor… Cro Cop was on what Brock earn’t. They would have offered more for Fedor. I think it was a case of A) UFC wanting to tie Fedor to their organisation (no Sambo comps) B) He wanted to stay in Japan/Russia C) Him not wanting to come out of his comfort zone ie a ring.

I don’t blame the UFC for not landing Fedor, they knew how important he is. I think Fedor just didn’t want to play by their rules.

One of the many reasons fedor wouldnt sign with the UFC is simply because Dana White wants full control of him. Fedor competes in Sambo fights for his native russia and As you all know sambo is a huge sport in russia. Fedor is like russia’s big name guy, and as per the contract offered by Dana he wouldnt be permitted to do anything other then what the furor Dana White allows.

As for the pay day I heard Fedor was offered pretty much the biggest UFC purse to date but still turned it down due to the stipulations of the contract.

Sadly It Was The Annoucement. - http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=VideoPlayer.home&gid=10519

I Was Hopping For Some Big Signing Or Something Not A Sponsorship Annoucement . This Is Nothing To The Us The Fans.

This news will 99.99% have nothing to do with Randy Couture, since Mark Cuban and his HDnet fights already has a court case going with the UFC regarding Randy’s contract. I don’t know the timeline of that court case, I don’t believe it began yet, but unless something big came of that, this news will not be about Randy.[/quote]

i didn’t think it did the ufc and dana just want you to tune in to see what is going down

Dana White makes mistakes, but the dude is a fucking marketing genius. He knows how to create anticipation.
