Dana White Crying over Fedor

[mikesilvia]

What a baby! Looks like he can't handle not signing Fedor. Fedor is the best and Dana White is an idiot.

[rksnascards]

Did he even say anything?..sounded like nothing but "beeps" and whining.

Dana...it's time to grow up...

If he is the best he should compete with the best then. Thus he should not sit and say nothing while his management makes demands to co promote with the UFC or they will not sign. If he truly wanted to be the best fighter in the world he would have spoken up. Dana White was willing to let him compete in sambo competitions, promote M-1 on his shorts and on banners. He just didn't want to co promote and that was the back breaker. I would be frustrated as **** if I were him.

This probably rules out Fedor ever fighting in the UFC then. First time around, it was his management team. This time around, it's M-1 Global. What a pity too, considering that he is the world's top rated heavyweight in MMA, but he won't get to fight the other talents that'll give him a run.

pretty much you believe that since fedor is pretty much the best fighter in the world he should just take whatever ufc offers him otherwise he isnt a true fighter? This is a buisness and fedor is a buisness man he is part owner of m1 and looking to put his brand out there and make it be a money maker once his career is over. A very smart move in my opinion not to far off of what randy does with xtreme couture except he is trying to take it to another level and he is capable because of the fact he is the most sought after free agent fighter in the world. People make complaints about the strikeforce deal but why? He has some descent fighters he can fight in that org. and they have already stated that his first fight will be on showtime and his second fight will be on cbs....kimbo drew 7.4 million fans that is a lil better audience than 1.5 wich is ufc's biggest pay per view # . So to all the ufc nuthuggers they are not the only fight company in the world they are the most mainstream but a fighter of fedors caliber doesnt have to settle if he isnt pleased and as a buisness man put himself in a great position to establish a great avenue to showcase his skills in front of a huge audience.

Fedor needs to come to UFC, who does he fight right now???

[caltek3]

he just signed with strikeforce.

He's with Strikeforce. He can fight Brett Rogers, solid up and coming HW fighter, aside from Rogers, the only other fighter worth fighting there is Alistair Overeem, Strikeforce HW Champ.

I am just going to go ahead and say that while you call others "ufc nuthuggers" in reality you are one of the "real fans" who hate anything to do with UFC and Dana White. If you actually look at the details of the deal Fedor turned down, no one is saying "he should just take whatever ufc offers him otherwise he isnt a true fighter." If Peyton Manning turned down millions to go play in the arena league or if Albert Pujols turned down millions to go play in Japan, no way does anyone say it is the NFL or MLB's fault.

The UFC is the most restrictive MMA organization out there. If you sign with them you can't fight for anyone else. IF they don't give you a fight too bad. Sit and get rusty until Dana White gets you a fight. The offer the Dana White made Fedor just may cause havoc in the UFC. There will be a lot of other fighters that will ask the question, "why can't I get a contract that says I can fight somewhere else?"

Dana White has made some terrible decisions. He was completely against The Ultimate Fighter (which saved the UFC) and pays his fighters little while charging high dollars for seats and pay-per-view. Eventually his fighters may revolt

Also, I'm not sure why everyone wants all the best fighters in the UFC. Competition is good and I should have to wait 4-6 weeks to see some quality MMA. With Fedor NOT in the UFC I get to see some good fights outside the UFC show cycle. :)
