re: Fedor / UFC Update

I'm on a conference call with Dana White right now.
Fedor is a no go. Offered him everything but the co-promotion.
UFC signed Vitor Belfort and he will face Rich Franklin for the main event instead of Dan Henderson.

Yea he's on the conference call too. I just heard him say that. I don't know what Tito is getting paid but he said "you will never hear me mention money again"

Your love of scat videos has clouded any sensible thought you may have had.
Of course the Super Bowl is going to trump anything and everything TV has to offer. Maybe I could have worded my statement better.
Your other two none super bowl examples are both below 54 million and are TV "events". Once you get away from the series finale list things drop off quickly.
finally, the US market is the end all be all in today's current mix martial arts market.
If Japan was such a super power in MMA, Pride would have never died so easily.
Dream and Sengoku are jokes compared to the UFC.

Ok conference call is over.
Once again as I said above, apparently they did extremely well at UFC 100 like way above expectations well because they appear to be throwing alot of money around. The way Tito is talking is he got a shite load of money and sounds real happy. They just signed Vitor Belfort, Dan Lauzon and Ben Rothwell.
They gave Fedor everything he wanted except co-promotion with M-1. He said it's like Brett Farve signing with the Vikings and Brett Farve wanting to play and getting half of the Vikings business. He said "Fedor can go compete in a Sambo tournament every fricking Tuesday night if he wants to"
Said they offered him an arse load of money for this deal.
FEDOR IS GETTING frickED BY M-1 ON THIS DEAL IMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts?
<---Does not care to see this match, but instead thinks this statement is moronic.

Sure, why not?
At the same time, that's a huge IF!

Not sure if it has already been stated, but why not put Brock on screen, trashing Fedor, and calling out his manhood. I realize it is mostly about money, but every man has a breaking point. Maybe touching a nerve with Fedor would make him think twice. I mean Brock used to be in the WWE. He should be a pro at talking shite. Maybe bring out Mean Gene or something...i kid.

Personally I think Tito gets killed by Brock. WOuld be fun to watch though.

Tito needs to worry about winning a few fights at LHW first and working his way into the LHW top 10.

IMHO he's still a top 10 fighter.

And it might piss Fedor off a bit too much and he might end Lesnar permanently in a fight.

as long as Fedor comes to the UFC, i don't care if he snaps the neck of the every HW.

Didn't Frank Shamrock beat Tito the only time they fought?
Posted on 7/31/09 at 3:24 pm to busbeepbeep
Yeah, but that was ten years ago. Tito was a much different fighter then.
Posted on 7/31/09 at 3:25 pm to busbeepbeep
yea, it was a great fight too.
