Fallout from Affliction

[HeartBreakMan2k]

So obviously everyone has been following the Fedor thing, as was as Victor and perhaps a couple other fighters. Anyway, latest stemming from the fallout.

I guess you can file this under unconfirmed rumor/wild speculation but theres a fan post on BloodyElbow that the UFC has filed a cease a desist order vs strikeforce for the Babablu/Moooosasi fight. I'm guessing this has to do with their deal with Affliction. I would imagine something similar will be done with Fedor. I normally wouldn't post something like this, but the poster seems to be a Zuffa insider, or know someone, as he has been right before about this kinda stuff (Randy coming back vs Brock, Affliction cutting a deal with the UFC)

Gotta believe Zuffa is going after Moooosasi, as I'm sure they have no desire to bring Babablu back.

They already announced who they signed and those were not two of them.

that doesnt mean theyre not going to try and get more

[Rob]

The other names had non exclusive deals and UFC isn't dealing with anyone who has a deal elsewhere.

Rob knows guys. Didnt you hear? Fedor is signing with UFC.

well if UFC is able to put a cease and desist on the two fighters, theres a lot more going on than we know

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Part of the deal with Affliction was UFC gets first crack to offer any contract they want to the Affliction roster. They haven't contacted these fighters yet and therefore they are not free agents yet.

Exactly where did I say "Fedor IS signing with the UFC"?

Have a look and get back to me sometime this year.
