Originally posted by Inertia something seems off. that was way more money than i think it would cost to promote events in Russia/sign other guys from Red Devil, which were demands in previous negotiations with Fedor. i don't think Dana would be that generous just in order to stick to his policies. i also think Fedor would probably agree to those terms posted. hrmmm... probably with the added demand he can fight in any MMA event held in Russia. but time will let us know i guess.

I'd have to agree, the numbers seemed way higher than any current UFC fighter. The originating source is from LA times again, who were the ones who posted that article on monday that the deal was being finalized. So I'm not sure who to believe, but I do think that Fedor's manager and owner of M-1 Vadim is making all these decisions for him. I think Fedor needs more control over this stuff. Vadim is just trying to spread the name of his company, and using Fedor as the flag to do it.

Time will tell though

Well, looks like everything went smoothly

So did he get offered that much money or not?

Either way, it's not looking good.

Also, man BJ is going down if KenFlo acts like this Saturday.

Btw, Fedor signed with Strikeforce. Epic fucking fail.

I predict Fedor signing with UFC eventually.

That fight card is bound to happen, I hope soon though...

Strikeforce signs Fedor Emelianenko to multi-fight deal, M-1 to co-promote

http://mmajunkie.com/news/15713/bre...-co-promote.mma



What a joke.. I wonder how much money they gave up for the co-promotion?



There is no talent in Strikeforce’s heavy weight division. You have the champ and who else?



What it boils down to is Fedor and M-1 trying to use his name to launch a successful promotion company after Fedor retires. UFC was right not to let them co-promote.

either way, the heavyweight division (at least to me) in any promotion is by far the most boring one, with 1 dimensional/lame fights.

the same can be said for boxing.

Well I am looking forward to seeing Fedor vs Overeem, and I like Brett Roger's too, but I need to see him get one more legit win in before Fedor. After that, I don't really see much more for Fedor in Strikeforce.
