If all that is true then UFC really playing dirty games, they end up loosing a champ forever. Dana White has to redo the contract once again. I think they just do not want to accept Fedor’s terms which is a must in this case.

Hey why did the UFC screw up the contract? Is it because Dana White is getting greedy and dont want to give FEDOR a good deal? FREDOR is the best in the world right now(undefeated), except for one match stopped because of a cut. Randy can not claim to be the best unless he beats FEDOR. Comon Dana, stop screwing around!!

UFC doesn’t need Fedor to become the preeminent MMA organization. UFC needs Fedor BECAUSE they ARE the preeminent MMA organization, and because Fedor is highly regarded in circles of highly influential MMA fans. Keeping those fans satisfied by regularly bringing in global talent regarded as being among the best is something that a preeminent MMA organization does.

However, if they don’t sign him now, it’s possible that he will never fight again in a high profile promotion outside of HERO’s, which doesn’t have any media exposure in the US. After a year or two, he might well become a footnote in the books, and a few people will wonder what might have been.

Fedor is no longer of value to the UFC when he drops out of the top five on the Sherdog rankings. Until then, they should be doing everything possible to sign him.

I’ll agree, Lindland is not a contender at heavyweight. Sorry for being a troll. I’m not saying that Coleman was a top fighter, I’m saying that you should remember him fighting. Maybe I misunderstood your comment. If you meant he hasn’t faced top competition in years, I wouldn’t have a huge problem with it. I thought you meant he hadn’t fought in two years; which is crazy to say.

I thought Rampage was still the poor Rampage in that fight, and certainly not the same fighter he had been or has since turned back into and surpassed. All in my humble opinion of course. I guess it was kind of pointless of me to mention LHW in the first place.

(A) Joey stop being a troll

(B) JThue – How can you say that Lindland is “not top competition at LHW”?

IMO and that of many others he actually beat Rampage (controversial split decision), the current top dog in the UFC, in their match at LHW not too long ago.

I think he’s got the style to give almost EVERY top LHW fighter on the planet fits.

Outside of that I do pretty much agree with the rest of what you said.
