Not so fast. Recently, M-1 Global CEO, Vadim Finkelstein, spoke about the possibility of Fedor coming to the UFC after his last two fights with Strikeforce. From what I read in his quote, it is nothing different from the original problems in negotiations with the UFC and M-1. More co-promotion crap.
Can't Fedor just come and fight the best fighters in MMA with a normal contract, like everyone else? I'm to the point that I just don't care whether he comes to the UFC or not. Obviously, he's not hurting the UFC by competing against them, and he's not hurting the UFC by not fighting for them.
"It depends on UFC. We would like to cooperate with them. Everything depends on them, their diplomacy. It would be possible if they are flexible... I don't want to compete with UFC, I want to co-operate with them. I think it could be a winning solution for everybody - for us, for them, and for MMA fans."
"That's his character, [Dana White] just loves to call names. He didn't say bad things about M-1 only, there were a lot of situations where he was harsh. It makes me glad when Dana White talks about us. I respect the UFC, they've done a lot for the development of MMA, so I can pardon them such attacks. We respect him and let him grumble."
