Fedor vs Hendo

You're dead right, bobyclumsyninja, and I won't quote your post because that was fucking a lot of text. One more point on him being the best man at most gyms. This is most certainly going to be true wherever he goes, but he won't necessarily be the best grappler. He needs to go train at a top-level camp with some grapplers who can really challenge him from all positions, even if in an MMA fight they might get decimated by him.

It would be great if they could decimate Fedor, because that would reduce him to about 207lb, making the cut to LHW easier.

Well, Dana Fucking White just bought Strikeforce. Return of Henderson to the UFC imminent.

Still saying there won't be cross-promotion. Come on you stingy bastards, lend some talent out, so we fans can get those mega-fights we're dying for.

Overeem vs. JDS???? I drooled just then.

And sadly, at least as far as I've read, Dana White is the biggest factor keeping Fedor out of the UFC. Specifically, that Dana White doesn't permit any fighter he contracts to compete in any other venue than UFC (or perhaps venues it owns). And Fedor insists on competing in the Russian National SAMBO championship each year. Which, if true, personally I think White could make an exception for this because it's not like it's a competitor in any way.

But, it's been a while since I've checked out the specifics on this debate, so I could be wrong.

Dana said it, there are guys over there that wouldn't want to see him. I don't think his bravado is always the thing, that fighters and their management want to hear. This way, whomever they want to deal with, Zuffa wins.

This is a clever move by the F-bros. Without destroying the SF brand, they've removed the risk to them, of SF gaining or overtaking the UFC in worldwide appeal. The HW tourney was a brilliant idea, and I'm sure in Japan, they are LUVIN IT!!!!

I want to be an optimist about this, largely b/c we don't have a choice, and so, this cup needs to be half full.
