You'd have thought there'd be more "details" to tease sent out for journalistic evaluation if he were to make an announcement on that scale.

If he were to bring Fedor, I wouldn't doubt he'd apply yht normal "lol secret" method: Leak it to a few people, in order to get the rumour started.

i'm happy about this. hopefully it is a legitimate competitor to the ufc and has its own unique qualities, ie ring, different rules, etc. don't like the name much though

I know that Dana was not able to get Fedor yet I was just wondering because he was to have showed up at UFC 75 with Randy and Fedor did not show up.

Oh, yeah, I see your point. I mean if Cuban was going to bring him though, he'd hype it in someway, even if it were a surprise.

A few leaks to media sources in the MMA circle about Fedor possibly being at his conference wuold not hurt, if it were true.

Still, I could be wrong,

The funny thing when they asked Dana what he thought of Mark Cuban's new org he went on and said something like "Fedor can go around the Country and fight Josh Barnett like a traveling circus". It does sound like Mark Cuban been at least putting up legit offers because of how Dana is reacting classic.

I dont know what Fedor would have to gain besides money by joining up with Cuban. And Dana is correct, there really is only one fight outside of the UFC (Barnett) that most people care about.

But it is Fedor's decision and if he does not care about being ranked #1 in the world anymore then why not sign with Cuban who will take very good care of him.

if i were fedor i would care about fighting the best in the world but i would care about money more. slam this all you want but in my book looking after myself and my family trumps looking after fight fans and even my own competitive desires. also you have to remember that the sherdog rankings are a lot less important to fedor than most would think, although this is just me guessing. he cares about what russians think, not wahat the caverage usa fans thinks

Maybe Cuban can show him some dance moves since he's going on Dancing with the Stars.

I personally would like to see the fighters get paid what they deserve. White is not willing to do that and will write off anyone that tries to negotiate a good deal......He waits for the sponsors to pay them. But as soon as they lose, the sponsorships go away.
