This man has been a hot ticket item for years before mainstream UFC, and
still
remains one as we speak. As we've all heard Fedor has agreed to a deal with Strike Force, with more fighters to be added from Dream and other organizations. People have been bashing him for not signing with the UFC
unaware of important details
, and I included are disappointed with the events that have unravelled. This decision was
NOT MADE BY EMELIANENKO !!!
But by his
CROOK
of an agent and
president of M-1
VADIM FINKELCHTEIN
, who has
DECEIED
he will fight for M-1/Strike Force. Vadim being the president of M-1 posses a
CONFLICT OF INTREST
with the UFC and
blinded his duties of "
agent
"
to Fedor as a end result. Vadim has chosen to keep Fedor to himself and manipulate M-1 to gain
MAXIMUM PROFITS FOR HIM SELF!!
Which is why UFC declined M-1's offer in the ballpark of 50% revenue must be shared when Emlianenko is on the fight card. In simple terms business is about money, Vadim knows he has a world renowned "
super star
" at his disposal and knowing that if the UFC didn't accept the offer others will (referring to Strike Force). In the long term the collapse of Strike Force is evident, because of the ridiculous control M-1 has right now with Emelianenko in the mix of things. It's like inviting over Donald Trump to your house, saying have half my house while you’re here and do as you please.
In a recent interview "
In His Own Words
" Fedor clearly states
TWICE
he has "...
OBLIGATIONS TO FULLFILL
..." referencing to his binding contract to M-1 Global. For all we know he may want to fight for UFC or NOT but for legal reasoning and/or clauses within the contract, you are not allowed to go gallivanting around bashing M-1 for the decision or to say he wants to fight somewhere else i.e. UFC. This would put Fedor in boiling water, so to speak in legal terms/courts which would
DEVOR HIS EARNINGS IN NO TIME!!
For now all we can hope for is that Fedor keeps his head high, furthers his training, continues to fight and wins two of his three scheduled fights(be realistic every great fighter has more than one loss now!!). Let's once again be patient and wait another year for fight card in the octagon. Thank you
