The whole situation is ridiculous. Fedor should be fighting with the big boys, and by that I of course mean UFC. Knowing that he would have to fight Brock Lesnar on day one probably scared him, I would be scared thats for sure. He would likely get knocked out in his first UFC fight. I’m not saying the guy cant fight, of course he can, but he probably figures he can get into UFC anytime he wants. He probably figures he can milk the minor leagues some more, and move up when theres no more competition or the companies shut down. What happens when Fedor takes his first loss by way of knock out? He loses a significant chunk of money…. So he’ll likely do what I said, milk the minor leagues until they shut down or theres no one left to fight. When he’s done doing that he’ll come to UFC and he probably won’t be in his prime, he’ll be coming to lose, but he’ll be coming for the pay day. Honestly I don’t want to see him fight Alstair Overeem either, its a waste in my opinion. The Brett Rogers fight was good because Brett Rogers is a big boy, he almost knocked Fedor out, but Overeem is getting old, and lookign for a pay day here, this fight will be dull with Fedor winning by KO.

All of this sordid anti-climactic nonsense in Strikeforce is going to be its undoing if they don’t quit messing around. We fans won’ t indefinitely tolerate being insulted with foolery and just boycott SF. They need all the increase in following they can get. One also has to wonder when the shelflife of Fedor’s “prime’ starts to sway. He’s been in it a long time. I ‘m a huge fan, but he has gotten caught off his stance once in Pride which shows his mortality, and that can only get weaker as time goes on. Finally, one has to further wonder if Fedor will ever get to fight Lesner or will it possibly be like a Tyson-Holyfield that should have happened when they were in their prime but the world lost the chance to ever know, and had to settle for a fight that brings mediocrity and tarnishes the legacy of a rare legend.

I agree that the M-1 negotiations are affecting the popularity of Fedor very bad – this should be done on a more professional level and the information once released should be 120% true and followed.
