Strikeforce signs top heavyweight Fedor - Boxing News - FOX Sports on MSN

Does anyone know the whole story with the affliction collapse?
Fedor needs to try the UFC out haha. I dont think he can hang

How can one collapsed drug test sink an entire federation?

I heard that Fedor wanted UFC to co-sponsor with his own promotion. Which the deal he was trying to make was something like $30 million for a total of 5 fights.

Well affliction put all it's egg's into the Barnett/Fedor fight. WHen Barnett tested positive, they tried to get Belfort to fight Fedor.....god what a sham. I hope he's staying out of the UFC because of Dana's bullshit "I own the rights to your whole existence for all of time" contract stipulations. But I'm sure Fedor has enough clout to get those taken out. So it's inexplicable why he won't go to the UFC and own the division. In 3 years he's going to be well past his prime and even if Lesnar fades, he's pushed the bar now so that the rest of the division has to answer. Whoever the UFC champ is in 3 years, he's going to be a beast and if Fedor keeps figthing bums or even good lower weight division opponents....He's not going to be ready for the 260 pound plus beast that's going to be waiting for him in the UFC. And i"m not necessarily talking about Lesnar....I just think that's the way the division is headed.

Maybe he does not want Brock Lesnar to lay ontop of him on the mat and beat up the floor around his head. Thats about all that big fucking DA can do.

Fedor wouldn't lie there no matter what. People have taken him down in the past and before his back even touched the mat he had his submission locked in. His groundwork is another universe compared to Mir. Mir hasn't tapped the caliber of fighter that Fedor has. I honestly think Brock wouldn't go near him.

Pretty much sais it all....But it gets the job done, and their faces afterwards are a mess.

i think Fedor could get Brock. Brocks ground game is still weak

I think Fedor is the strongest baddest heavyweight in the world right now.
