It was confirmed today that Fedor has indeed given up on UFC / Pride, and has signed with BoDog further than the fight with Lindland.

While his agent/manager was at the press conference, it is now known that Fedor has signed a 6 fight deal with BoDog, with his fight vs. the law being the first fight.

Fedor said he was lured to BoDog in part because of BoDog fight St. Petersburg. Bodog will be doing their own reality show TUF-style, and it will be in Russia with Fedor and his brother as coaches, though the brothers will not take place in a superfight against each other at the end.

Should Fedor really be #1 now? I mean hes a good fighter, but Bodog is not fighting top level compition at alll.

I may be laying on him to much, but the way I see it is that he is running away from the big competition, he can easily keep winning in Bodog and defend his #1 spot, he won't be fighting a high level of competition but as long as he doesn't lose how can we deny it.

i think in order for him to stay #1 he has to fight the UFC top heavyweights
