At that time he was trying to do what he thought was best for his fighter not for the UFC which he had nothing to do with. He just managed fighters.
As for Cro-Crop, all that quote show me is he can come back when he feels like it lawl, but regardless he let him go.
As for Fedor, its nice to put out a statement you know you will never have to back up since Dana will not let his champs fight anywhere else. Which according to you he very well knows from his contract negotiations with him. |
It's
any ufc fighter, not just champs. The fighter could leave the ufc, fight one fight, and make the same cash that normally takes them a year or more and 4 fights. They wouldn't have to leave though. The UFC could agree to co-promote the fight with M-1. The UFC has done this before when Gracie fought Hughes when he was under K-1 contract.
You argue that Fedor is scared. Dana seems to be the one scared by not allowing his fighters to fight outside the organization for fear of them losing. On a co-promotion M-1 could agree to just take 20% of the ppv buys or just a flat fee. Dana is not confident that his fighter would win.
I'll leave you with this:
