Why Dana White can not get Fedor

Because he offered the MMA God peanut money.

That's what happens when you have enormous corporate overheads. Dana wants a cut of the money. And, the Zuffa boys want a cut. And, they don't want to waste money to search and invite the best martial artists in the world to come and fight in the UFC. Just put more idiots NFL and steroids in the cage. Good job, UFC, you will be extinct soon.

Send a message via AIM to biochemical

UFC HW division is so weak right now that the next season of TUF will probably focus on HWs. That way, Dana can get his stars cheap.

Man, seriously, you make people who want to rip DW look bad. The reason DW couldn't get Fedor was because they won't grant non-exclusive contracts. That was the biggest sticking point.

Dude, I know about Fedor sambo's practices and his wishes to fight freely in his homeland. I have been following Fedor's career since the beginning.

But, UFC pays for its fighters are pathetically low. Check the numbers. Dana White said he was willing to pay Fedor into the million, but he wanted complete control over Fedor's brand to make up the costs. Dude, in the end, that's peanuts.

So far it looks like it is just a one fight deal for the HDNet fight. Who says he won't turn around and fight in the UFC if they offered him the most?
