    he threw lesnar at Couture almost immediately....and why risk FEDOR LOSING against some other guy....

    you BET that he will throw him in against Lesnar FIRST. Get the massive pay day.

    Yeah, I wonder whether Dana wants to risk having another Mirko CroCop on his hands. Filipovich came over and looked completely lost with the UFC rules. Then Gabriel Gonzaga nearly took his head off with a high kick and that's pretty much the last we've heard from him. If Fedor is a bust, at least it's best to get the one big fight with Lesnar and then if Lesnar destroys him, you bill Lesnar as the undisputed MMA heavyweight champ.

    Yeah, if Lesnar beats Fedor, there can be no more doubt. And I don't think it's all that unlikely.

    OT: Has Fedor ever fought in a cage? I've never seen him in one.

    Looks like my prediction of Fedor in the UFC by the beginning of 2011 might come REAL early!

    Fedor v.s. Lesnar would be an amazing draw. I am sure the card would even rival the UFC 100 card.

    It would be the biggest fight in MMA history. That fight alone would make it the biggest event in history.

    Imagine if they were able to put GSP vs. Anderson Silva on that same card... :drool:

    IMO, Silva vs. GSP will never happen.

    If it did, it would def be it's own card.

    Both fights are huge enough to draw massive paydays on their own. No sense in not cashing in twice.

    Yeh it will...if it makes money...Dana will do it. IMO he lets GSP dominate his division for a little longer then he makes it happen.

    Here's an update:

    http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/spo...intense-but-will-likely-drag-past-friday.html

    I personally think we will still eventually see Fedor in the UFC, possibly before the end of the year.

    It's not Dana's call. He only owns 10% of the company anyways.

    IMO, If Silva KOs Forrest (which he should) then he'll continue to fight guys from that weight class.

    Average guys.
    He said he won't fight Machida. And it won't be smart if Dana will let him pick off contenders, but not fighting for the title.

    If Dana White wants to see GSP vs. Anderson Silva, he will tell Joe Silva to make it happen. He's already said that if GSP beats Alves, the Silva fight would happen. It doesn't matter that he's not one of the Fertittas, he's the HNIC at the UFC.

    Griffin is going to be a handful for Silva. My money is on Griffin by decision.

    Yep. Silva isn't going to be making a run at the 205 lb strap.

    Oh-oh.
    Just read on sherdog (no link) that Fedor will be headlining that EA mma game.
    ...not good. UFC has been taking a stand against that game, and that is bad bad news.

    Also not good from Sherdog:

    http://sherdog.com/news/news/m-1-no-fedor-in-ufc-without-co-promoting-18792

    M-1 is standing in the way of Fedor's success, and they're all too stupid to see it.

    Maybe we can look forward to Fedor vs. Jose Canseco on New Year's Eve in Japan...

    I guess I'm a purist. I'd rather not see the UFC bend. And they won't.

    I'd love to see Fedor there, but not at the price of weakening the UFC.

    The worst mistake Fedor ever made was letting this guy be his manager.

    I doubt it. It's still a bad decision right now, IMO.

    What would make you think Griffin can beat Silva?

    Manager or not, this is getting ridiculous. Fedor has the ultimate choice I would think. What is the M-1 Global going to share? Are they going to pay half the fighters contacts that are under UFC for the PPV, the marketing costs, vendor costs? Bulls**t. Where is this money coming from, Affliction/M-1 bled money profusely. Is it the Russian mob? Excatly what UFC needs to get into or strikeforce for that matter...:shifty:

    if that is true (that poster, has good connections....and hosts a radio show) then fedor will never be in ufc...enless he changes management......cause you will NEVER find a offer better than that.....5 million a fight?!?! immediate title shot?!?! m1 getting a cut of ppv sales for lesnar/fedor?!!??! being able to wear as much m1 as he wants........

    this is pathetic.....dana(ufc) needs to stop getting so much flak for not gettin fedor in here....they are doing as much (if not more) as a legitimate business to get this done.....but those choad munchers arent budging......**** m1......and honestly....**** fedor......if cant realize this is his chance to legitimize himself for good his legacy in the HW division and mma in general......then he can go fight cans in strikeforce and dream forever.....i dont give a ****.....i have enjoyed ufc immensely for years.....all without fedor being even mentioned :up:
