I don't even hate Dana White. He's become more tolerable. We don't know the exact details of the neogotiations. We know the the initial offer was to co-promote under the M-1 banner, and UFC refused. Anything beyond that is speculation. We do know that Fedor got the deal he wanted from Strikeforce.

So Fedor should have taken a lesser deal because you want to see him fight top level competition? Fedor did that in Pride, when it was the top promotion in the world.

Fedor is at the tail-end of his career, can you blame him for taking the best possible money or deal?
