I know the fights been dropped, but Lesnar was going to fight Carwin....who maybe I'm mistaken but has a simular record and ranking to Rogers......so why isnt Lesnar Fighting the best Dana???

Sorry for the "double post" here is a link confirming what I'm saying:

FEDOR IS ESCAPING FROM THE UFC

Sorry to break it down for you people, but Dana White did accept to allow him participate in the Sambo tournaments, as it was stated by Fedor's manager and White himself. When the manager was confronted about why they still didn't accept the proposition (after all they wanted WAS GIVEN) they said something like "Dana White don't treat fighters like persons" we will remain in Strikeforce for now".

Being a fan of Fedor myself I've heard many times from him that the reason for which he fights is to avoid coming back to his old poor lifestyle ($_$), so it strikes me as VERY ODD that he first demanded a lot of things expecting negative responses, and then after (for his surprise) receiving positive responses he declines the contract.

What I honestly think is that Fedor wants to keep his number 1 title and press sensationalism for as much as he can, after all, that is what makes him richer and keeps him in the mouth of everyone, I sadly have no doubt, that therefore FEDOR IS ESCAPING FROM THE UFC.

And that's just my modest opinion.

this is a response to colombo, the reason why fedor will not sign with the ufc is precisely the contract yeah he gets buttloads of money but he also cannot compete in his sambo tournaments in russia. which he has been competing in them for ages. the sambo tournaments are like a national pride for russians and is very important for fedor. His ufc contract would not permit him to compete in those tournaments. The ufc is a monopoly and doesn´t like their fighters to do anything else but fight or compete for them. They are greedy stingy and ruthless they do not care about fights or fighters as much as how much they can make from them. If dana and the ufc would let fedor compete in the sambo tournaments fedor would sign. Also monopolies on anything is never good we need diversity always and fedor not signing with the ufc allows for other organisations to grow and compete in mma when they have him their organisation gets more publicity. but i would like to see fedor smash the ufc heavyweights then bounce out.

so is this the latest excuse? lmfao

Explain to me why Fedor didn't accept the UFC contract when everything he wanted was given and the money he would make was ridiculous. Explain to me why he didn't accept a BETTER CONTRACT than the one he's signed. Fedor is a great fighter, one of the best no doubt, but for some reason he is ESCAPING UFC, and if you think a little you will know what. He ran out of excuses when Dana White accepted all his demands...

Will be an interesting battle

Fedor prove himself , Why should he go to someone and go to UFC ? If Lesnar want to fight Fedor he could go to StrikeForce nd fight again him... Dana White STFU!

Dana is Hatin'! He would fight funker is you would just wear a M-1 shirt. Dana really,really wants Fedor.
