M1 was just bought by an undisclosed American buyer. They plan to promote shows in the US. Maybe Mark Cuban? Anyway, I guess that Fedor/ Couture for the first US promoted show in summer ’08.

From what I read, Fedor is part of the ownership. Before Aleks signed with (whatever the name of ti is), the whole Red Devil team was a package deal. Fedor wanted to get his brother and other team members into the UFC.

Send a message via AIM to Mickey's
Plus if they have any brains they will offer a way to watch it online like UFC does.

I was just guessing. I wonder who bought M1? Yahoo sports had a story that they would publicly announce the new ownership at the end of the month.

*perks up slightly*

Yeah... the Fedor article (link) mentioned that M-1 is under new management. There's a little hope, then. I'd just been looking at M-1's event history (link) and seeing A) it was all "Russia vs. X" events and B) 9 times out of 10, the Russian won. No way a management team that put that crap together would risk Fedor vs. Randy. Maybe the new owners will. Maybe it'll be broadcast somewhere I can see it if it happens.

I'm still pretty pissed about all this, though.

Stoney, your dream fight is officially fucked then. No Randy/Nog fight is going to happen.

There's been a little rumor going about Vince McMahon and possibly Cuban buying M-1, or something to do with getting it PPV in N. America.

Quote:
On September 3, 2007 Cuban was cited as having interest in obtaining the services of Fedor Emelianenko, mixed martial arts' reigning PRIDE FC Heavyweight champion and undisputed #1 MMA Heavyweight fighter in the world. Citation Sherdog.com

On September 12, 2007 Cuban said that he was in talks with the Vince, Linda and Stephanie and Shane McMahon of the World Wrestling Entertainment in creating a mixed martial arts company that would compete with Ultimate Fighting Championship. [64]
