What the fuck? SAMBO? Like the World Sambo League (or whothefuckever) is going to rise to prominence and challenge the UFC's place as the #1 fight organization?

That's what Fedor's side said. The UFC side said something entirely different (That they demanded Fedor came with a number of other fighters and were allowed to promote their stuff a lot). The truth is somewhere in the middle. However what details have poured out have shown that both sides have made demands that are somewhat unfair.
I agree with you though, if only both sides could work together!
UFC is hoping for Affliction to fail in 2009, making one less organization for Fedor to fight with. They are also trying to create a rift between fedor and his management, because they feel that Fedor cares more about fighting tough opponents than details in a contract. Who knows what the truth is.
