Right now he needs the UFC more than they need him. Their HW stable is very exciting and up and coming. Dana has any and all power right now in regards to signing Fedor.

No doubt. The terms of the UFC in trying to sign him will not be nearly as generous now. M-1 cannot even suggest co-promotion without being laughed at. M-1 will really have to swallow some pride if they want to come to terms.

Best case scenario (to me at least) is Fedor finishing his SF contract against the winner of Werdum and Overeem then finally signing with the UFC. If he were to fight and beat the winner of Werdum and Overeem, it should be an immediately title fight.

But this is likely wishful thinking. Just as great a chance Fedor fights his last SF fight, wins, and either semi-retires or faces fighters well beneath his skill set for a few years in various one off fights (like Lindland in bodog and Choi in Japan).

it won't happen unless M-1 drops their request to co-promote with the UFC. This is the one thing Zuffa/UFC won't give in to.
