Fedor talking to the UFC again

http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/366053/Fedor-back-in-talks-with-the-UFC/

I say

Fedor vs Brock/Overeem Loser

or Fedor to 205 to fight Shogun, Rampage, Forrest, Lil Nog, or Machida.

Any other those would be pure awesomeness.

not happening

No source, no bueno. Would be nice though.

It's a great source, someone from his camp said so.

M-1 rumor is he's fighting Satoshi Ishii on New Year's eve.

i saw that rumor. i see this being the more likely result

I think we'll see Fedor in the UFC..i really do. I think after NYE and maybe one more fight. Just word is M-1 isnt doing well financially.


The guy is still huge in Russia, hell..Putin was ringside for his last fight and the fans were clearly crazy for him..so even without his "undefeated" streak he carries huge value being a high level HW or potentially high level LHW with the russian fans plus he still has a pretty big fan base just in general. He'll still get paid big money and the company the holds the rights to all the best moments in his career will treat Fedor like the fighter he is/was. With the star treatment UFC has given Mirko, Nog, Wandy, etc. Fedor would be treated like royalty, even if his best days are behind him and there has always been drama.

Reports had surfaced since Fedor’s win this past weekend in Moscow, Russia over former UFC heavyweight title contender, Jeff Monson. These reports were denied by M-1 Global when Fighters Only Magazine contacted them earlier today saying there was “no substance”.

Pay Fedor to fight Struve on a Preliminary Card in the UK next year! We all know he can't handle the top guys in the HW Division, but Struve is still a comer and using Fedor's name would add some value to the card. The best part is he can be gotten for practically nothing compared to the previous offers.

LOL, I bet Fedor would still murder Brock. Clown.

But yeah, doubt this shit goes down.

shut up drew

You shut up KOC. He shows up over weight and couldn't even put away Jeff Monson for Christ sake. I am a Florian fan, but even I think he should hang it up. He is nothing but a fucking gatekeeper now and has better prospects as an analyst. I am calling it like it is, I not some fucking nuthugger...

LOL yeah you really "call it like it is" LOL too funny. You are always good for a laugh.

Sorry, your right OU. Monson is top 3 HW in the world and Fedor is the epitome of cardio...

Yeah because that is exactly what I was implying.

Why should Florian hang it up? Man, there would really be a lot of fights to watch if everyone who was never going to a win a title just decided to hang them up and stop fighting

Too late.

Best way would be too throw him Schuab then the Mir vs. Nog II winner.

I'd love to know if Dana would even consider it at this point

As long as M1 drop their ridiculous demands I don't see why not, Fedor is still a legend.

I agree, as long as the M-1 isn't being stupid and Fedor isn't expecting close to a seven figure payout, I can't imagine why DW wouldn't jump on it. Even with his diminshing abilities, he is a big name and brings adds about 50K-100K PPV buys from fanboys, and adds to still the weakest division in the sport.

Obviously it would still make sense, but that doesn't mean it will happen. After everything that's happened (if you listen to Dana's side of the story) he could easily just laugh and stiff Fedor at this point and keep him irrelevant over in Russia rather than bringing him in

Fedor will never fight in the UFC. He will retire if M-1 goes belly up. He might fight in Japan on NYE for a few years at best. Fedor doesn't need the money and I personally think he hates DW and the UFC.
