Not only that but Affliction is no longer doing fights. And to add-on to the discussion about Fedor going to the UFC...

Checkout the last line about co-promoting. It's just not going to happen.

Until this shit stops:

"Of course, it still doesn't imply we are ready to accept any conditions they'll throw at us," Finkelchtein said. "We want to talk to the UFC about having Fedor compete against some of their fighters, but only within the framework of co-promotional efforts with M-1 Global."

We're not seeing Fedor in the UFC. This is the biggest thing that White will not budge on, so if he only joins via co-promotion with M-1, we're not going to see him in the UFC period. I just think the egos here are too big on both sides, and UFC is having too much success for White to feel like he should have to budge on this issue.

Sad but true, he'll probably get the rescheduled Barnett fight, or Overeem next. And after that it's straight can crushin for him until he himself decides to fight in the UFC on their terms.
 
fedor will sign with the ufc once he realizes that his greedy, manipulative managers are willing to prioritize their own financial interests at the expense of fedor's. this will happen when dana, lorenzo etc. meet fedor in person. it may have happened already
 
Yeah there was an article (all in russian sadly) where his brother called out Fedor's managers on this. So hopefully that will be a push in the right direction. But one thing is certain, Fedor will have to break away from his current management to get anything done, because otherwise there's nobody left after Overeem. And what's to say Overeem doesn't get caught roiding too? lol
 
Remember that one of the big reasons (other than money) that prevented Fedor from signing is that he is the face of Combat Sambo and participates in their events every year. The UFC has all sorts of exclusivity clauses that prevent fighters from taking part in anything except the UFC so this is another very large roadblock as Fedor wants/needs/has to keep competing in the Combat Sambo stuff.
