Fedor: "If I fought for the UFC, he (Dana) would try to sell me as the greatest..."

Especially when there is no undisputable fact for determining who is in fact the best fighter.

Obviously philosophically speaking it would be difficult to determine the "best" fighter since in that context it can be highly subjective. But that aside Dana White has made numerous comments that he himself very likely does not believe to be true; such as saying Fedor is not top five in the world. Isn't that the definition of a lie? Someone wishing to deceive another with words for their own benefit (the UFC)? No one mentioned the Anderson Silva comment as a "lie", so using that as an example is pretty much a moot point.

Anyway, I thought this statement was somewhat Dana-ish.



Sounds distinctly like promoting your own doesn't it? Fedor won't get the same criticism as Dana would though. Too bad Affliction doesn't really have the best HW fighters in the world. Sure they have a few of them, but the majority are fighting elsewhere.

Fedor, AA, Tim Sylvia, and Josh Barnett

UFC has Brock, Nog, AA, Mir, Randy, Congo, GG

The UFC has more top 10 guys, but Affliction has number 1 and 2

To be fair to Dana White, many of his Fedor comments stem from media questions.
I wonder if the press can actually think of something else to ask in an interview.
Fedor isn't coming to the UFC so why is this always brought up? If he would rather fight cans and an occasional washed up former UFC fighter, let him do it. He has to be the most overrated fighter in history.
