Fedor is part owner of M1, he is no real 'contract'. Get THAT straight. That being said, as i stated earlier, he IS M1, the face of it, part owner, and the only real notable personality. He could have slapped their logo on his pants, or tattoo'd it on his damn head, but because the UFC didnt need Fedor as much as Fedor needs the UFC, they didnt budge on the co-promotion shit.

ANYWAY, rather than debate the possibility of a fighter winning in a division he will always run from, im gonna go take my final now.

Fedor obviously didn't need the UFC, as he got the deal he wanted elsewhere, and probably got better money. You can't blame him for that.

Holy shit alvarado your a moron. He is not M-1. M-1 owns him. His MANAGER owns part of M1 and he does what they say. Seriously fucking read any of the hundreds of articles on any mma site on him. He has no control over what he does, his manager and m1 does. Get YOUR fucking facts strait.

His management is fucking shady. They want to leach on already existing organizations and not have to lose any money on production costs but split the money made on viewership and ticket sales. Thats why it didnt matter how good a contract ufc gave fedor because that chunk of change is nothing compared to what M1 would get through co promotion.

So, can any truth be confirmed about his manager somehow being tied to the Russian Mafia or has that just been a fun myth for a couple of years? Would be kind of funny and eye opening to find that out.

I dont doubt that lesnar could beat fedor, either but brock would NOT be the favorite on it. Hes a one dementional fighter with a great top game. he can take you down and control you and put you in a position to land big shots. His striking is horrible and im willing to bet hes fucked if you can get him on his back.

Fedor has some of the quickest hands in the heavyweight division which is saying something considering he doesnt use crisp technique but rather throws all power shots.

Fedor is also one of the most agile heavyweights there is. Brock locked up a bigger, stiffer frank mir. It would be a little different with a man as agile as fedor.

I mean, there has to be some other force involved in this M1 situation IMO. It's just not logical to think the one of the fastest growing sports forces in the entire world, the UFC, would co-promote with M1 to get their hands on one fighter. Either something is driving m1 to be so stubborn or they are fucking delusional.

Well they pretty much run most of that country and hes one of the country's famous and prized possessions. So it seems like they could at least have connections.

Not to mention... have you seen videos of where fedor trains and lives? His brother?

They do not live lavishly at all. You would think he were a blue collar worker. If thats his choice then fine but it begs the question where is all that money he is making going?

Fucking dirty Russians, never trust a slav.

Brock may not even beat Carwin yet, never mind Fedor.

nobody owns anyone. If Fedor said to jump, they'd ask how high. You gotta be fucking your brain with a spoon to think that they could control Fedor's career. Fedors is part owner of M1, but that doesnt mean he is contractually obligated to NEVER FIGHT IN ANY OTHER PROMOTION.

Well by that logic, why would Fedor join a competing promotion?

Ok see I say something that is fact and you go with the opposite. Again... Russia isnt america and his management OWNS HIM. His management own and run m1 and he is their marquee fighter.

hes not using logic...

what he said.

Russians are shady.

Based on what? This is getting a little old here BillyBonez. Based on past fights, Carwin has a hell of a chance of beating Lesnar. Carwin has wonderful stand up defense, can take a punch, has a hand like a cannon, and none of his fights have ever gotten out of the first round. Not to mention that Lesnar's chin hasn't been truly tested by a guy with such immense knock out power.

I'm not saying Carwin will win but you're basically a huge fucking moron if you're trying to make this out like it's a one sided fight.

How dare you rule out the possibility of a Chuck Norris victory, BDC!!!!
