Love em or hate em, UFC has proved time and time again why they are the #1 MMA organization. For another example, check out the headache that Strikeforce now has in order to have the best fighter in the world.

M-1 is like the Don King to Tyson's Prime IMO. They both made lots of money off their star fighter, but screwed their top fighter out of a lot better fights and many more opportunities IMO.

I completely agree....that is why I brought it up in my call today on Junkie Radio. M-1 are whining about not being promoted enough, they say they spent more than SF, they say there are not enough M-1 Fighters on the card, they say that they have thrown so many shows around the globe and have been doing it for so long. Well, if that is the case then throw your own f---ing shows! All M-1 does is try to co-promote, and then b---- about what comes with that type of arrangement. Some say no news is good news, others say that any news is good news.....well M-1, I am getting sick and tired of your sad *** soap opera.

exactly I wish M-1 and Fedor would just seperate ways, just like Mousasi did. I know Fedor is part owner, but someone has to realize that M-1 is the only thing seperating him from being the UFC several times in the past. I would hate to see him retire and never fight and show people his greatness against the UFC best. Maybe Dana needs to set him up with a weird contract like a one-time against Brock full co-promition and if Brock wins then they have to drop the co-promotion and sign an regular UFC contract, if Fedor wins, then they can co-promote. Probably wouldn't work, but it would be fun to dream ab out =)

True, but even the casino money didn't help them get out of the hole and start making a profit until the Utlimate Fighter series debuted. That's when the UFC really went mainstream. I'm suprized Strikeforce and other promotiions haven't tried reality shows like TUF because of that fact too
