ixnay Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 surely that announcement will be very much anticipated!.. Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) FEDOR NOT A UFC FIGHTER f#&k Vadim Finkelchtein!! What does he have on Fedor that he cant talk to UFC himself? I know for a fact that M1 is paying him a lot, but is Fedor that greedy? I want Fedor to fight in the UFC so that we can end the arguement who is the best P4P fighter. With Ben Rothwell signing with UFC, there is no question that the best HW aside from Fedor is in UFC. I hope Vadim Finkelchtein gets hit by a bus so he can do us all a big favor.. Let's see if anything exciting will be announced by the UFC on July 31.i think Fedor trusts Vadim so much that he leaves all the contract decision making to him... or Vadim is the devil and he owns Fedor's soul, because Fedor sold it to the devil to become the greatest MMA fighter of all time. but Fedor finds out that he can be the greatest of all time by becoming a cyborg hehehe so he mucks up the devil to get his soul back Edited July 30, 2009 by riceb0i Quote Link to comment

Assasin's Creed Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Vitor Belfort signed for UFC 103 to fight Rich Franklin in Dallas Sept. 19 Dana White confirmed today that Vitor Belfort (18-8) has been acquired from the fallout of Affliction MMA and will replace Dan Henderson against Rich Franklin (25-4) in the main event of UFC 103 from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, on Sept. 19. White cited fan apathy towards the original main event between Franklin and Henderson as a catalyst for the change. “The Phenom” has agreed to meet “Ace” at light heavyweight — despite rejecting a recent Affliction fight against Gegard Mousasi because it was outside of his new home at 185-pounds. Dan Henderson will now be granted a rematch with Anderson Silva with a timetable pending the results of “The Spider’s” Aug. 8 fight against Forrest Griffin. Company president Dana White made a surprise announcement during “Inside the Octagon” back on June 20 that he was interested in bringing Vitor back under contract to possibly face Anderson Silva. It was a bit strange because Belfort was booked to battle Sengoku Middleweight Grand Prix winner Jorge Santiago at Affliction 3: “Trilogy” on Aug.1, 2009, but White seemed confident that the Brazilian would return to the eight-sided cage for a third tour of duty after he satisfied his commitment to the “tee-shirt guys.” Quote Link to comment
Assasin's Creed Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Tito Ortiz returns to the UFC, may face Mark Coleman in late 2009 Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz was on the July 31 media conference call to officially announce his return to the Octagon. While “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” didn’t get into specifics, he did confirm that he will finish his fighting career under the Zuffa umbrella. The speed of his return took many by surprise, as the bad blood between Ortiz and UFC President Dana White seemed to reach an all-time high after Ortiz was relegated to signing autographs at an off-strip casino when officials banned him from the UFC Fan Expo on July 10 and 11. Ortiz is coming off major spinal fusion surgery to correct a back problem that plagued him in his most recent bouts. His last appearance was in May 2008 — a unanimous decision loss to now 205-pound champion, Lyoto Machida. He spent his time on the sidelines “searching for a record contract” while flirting with a variety of promotions, including Elite XC, Strikeforce and Affliction MMA, where he did a guest commentating spot at January’s “Day of Reckoning.” While he speaks highly of Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, Ortiz told the media that his decision to return to the UFC was based on the level of competition — something he didn’t feel Renato Sobral or Frank Shamrock offered him in San Jose. When asked for a timetable on his return, White interjected that he was presently considering Mark Coleman as his first opponent for late 2009. Ortiz then reiterated that he was in no hurry to rush back to competition after having major surgery. It’s been more than a year since Ortiz saw action in a performance that had him in trouble early only to nearly finish it with a triangle-to-armbar transition that “The Dragon” barely escaped. Ortiz has all 22 of his professional fights (except for one) under the UFC banner in a career that dates back to 1997. He has three wins, two defeats and one draw since he returned to action in 2006 from a brief hiatus. And those three victories have come at the expense of a past-his-prime, Ken Shamrock (twice), and a controversial split decision over Forrest Griffin. Whether or not a surgically repaired back will help him return to form and make a serious run at the light heavyweight championship remains to be seen. And I think Mark Coleman might have something to say about his chances later this year. Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 You know what, screw Fedor!! UFC has offered him everything, a large amount of money and he can do Sambo whenever he likes. They cannot just offer the co-promotion. And quite frankly, why would they?? Its like the PBA co-promoting the PBL. There's just nothing there for the UFC. Let him fight elsewhere, im pretty sure he will take that company down, just like what he did with Bodog and Affliction. Besides, he has no real competition aside from UFC. Fedor with no real competition would just result to low pay per view buys. Lets see if Scott Coker of Strikeforce would give in to these Russian's insane deal. I hope not. Quote Link to comment
ray004 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 where would fedor go? the best fighters are in the UFC in my opinion Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 where would fedor go? the best fighters are in the UFC in my opinion Back to Japan! He can fight Josh Barnett there! UFC will never co-promote with M1! And M1 wont let Fedor fight in the UFC without a co-promotional deal! Hopefully in the future either one would give-in to the other! I guess these "Crazy Russians" does mean business! I read on the other threads that Dana apologized to them for calling them crazy and for bashing Fedor in public! :hypocritesmiley: Quote Link to comment
