The Sambo thing is news to me but as far as M-1 global goes they made Fedor lots of money over the years and it's unprofessional to just dump a company thats been loyal to you for many years just because the UFC comes a knocking. He stayed loyal to the company that got him the money he has now and you can't knock the guy for having principles.
not just that....fedor actually has partial ownership of m-1 global so there's no way he's dropping them for anything.
above comment: you're right, just it's always a pissing match when this subject is brought up. It's like what's better Coke or Pepsi an AK-47 or an M-16. Just saying....
I know but I always get a kick out of how ignorent most boxing fans are when it comes to MMA.

who gives a rats ass. Isn't this a boxin forum? F*ck MMA on this forum. I watch that MMA crap it but this argument will always keeping going around, and around.....
Well boxing is part of the discussion it's not like we are just talking about MMA exclusivley in this thread.
He was going to allow him to do Sambo, you didn't hear his radio interviews..?
Also, why would UFC want to Co-Promote with M1-Global...
That's like the NFL co-promoting AFL...all the money would have been generated by and from UFC...

Well, we all know that he ducked the UFC when they were going to offer him$31 Million for a 6 fight contract....
Yes but they also wanted him to fire his promoter if he signed the contract with the UFC and also he could no longer compete in the Russian Sambo grand championships which he is the defending world champion of.
It's Dana's fault for not wanting to work with M-1 global as a co promoter which needed to happen if they wanted any part of Fedor. it was Dana's greed that screwed up that deal from happening.
For someone who dislikes Fedor so much you almost know nothing about him.
You know what the hell im saying....
....if you took away the punching...and even left kicking, MMA would be defunct....
What in the blue hell are you talking about? It's called Mixed Martial Arts you jack ass if you took away the punching then it wouldn't be Mixed Martial Arts dummy.
And yes they were booed for not engaging but this happens in boxing all the fuking time this is nothing new. They wern't booing them because they didn't want to see ground in pound , they were booing because it was a tactical fight. Trust me they don't boo when one guys is pounding another guy on the ground, they boo when they go to the ground and do nothing with it for long stretches of time.
There is a diffrence.
That don't mean crap...
I am former USMC, so I've seen some bad hand to hand combat instructors who could kill individuals as well....
Nobody is scared shitless of the Russian military either....
Fedor hasn't had a meaningful win in 5 years....since he was in Pride...
Ok and what fight would be meaningful for him Mr. Knowitall? And don't start throwing around UFC names because he actually has to get signed to the UFC before thats a realistic option.
Plus downplaying everything doesn't make you right either, it just makes you look like a hater.

Really??? The U.S. is currently occupying half of the countries in the middle east but wouldnt dare step foot in Georgia even if Russia keeps poking and prodding in their territory.
Other examples
Machida vs Shogun
Ortiz vs Griffin
these are other recent examples of fighters being booed for not standing up and fighting...
WTF? These fights all took place standing up?! Did you even watch them?
No that can be debunked...
I was watching that Sports Science show that used to come on and they said the amount of force generated from a punch with a boxing glove and a MMA glove was relatively the same...so those MMA guys have glass Jaws...
Best way is to spar using 4 ounce gloves. Feel the difference even when blocking.
U stay on MMA Nuts...
With that overrated Fedor in your AVI, glorifying it...
We all saw what Mercer did to the former UFC Heavyweight champ...
We all saw that former Sam's Club Tire buster, Brett Rogers gave Fedor HELL before he landed that punch...And Rogers just started training full time MMA last year....:lol1:
For fuk sake you do know that Fedor is the hand to hand combat instructor of the goddamn russian military right???
The same russian military that everyone in the world including the U.S. is scared shitless of???
If it wasnt a sporting event Fedor would have literally killed everyone he stepped in the ring with.
Hey what did you think of GSPs performance against Dan Hardy...???
also...Why were the fans booing GSP...he was actually doing what MMAers do?
He was boring and refused to take any chances against Hardy. He had him controlled on the ground but refused to go in for the kill which drew out the fight into 5 rounds of GSP putting the arena to sleep.
You see this Pistol Whimp ^^^
Why do your MMA buddies boo the fighters for wrestling and trying submissions, yet applaud when they stand up and fight....
Because GSP is the Bernard Hopkins of MMA. Dominates all his opponents but does it in boring fashion. The reason they booed him is because against Dan Hardy he kept him on the ground for all five rounds and didn't finish him off or should I say didn't try to finish him off.
Again you take one instance and you wanna apply it to every single match. it would be nice to know what you are talking about before you open your pie hole.
It's called generalizing and it's fuking stupid.
The smaller gloves theory has been disproven,lad.
MMGAY fighters simply have weak chins.
Prove it to me I don't see how you could, but please prove it.
Just because you say it's true doesn't make it so.
Why can't MMA fighters fight a boxer using boxing rules sometime? Why does it always have to be the other way around?
Because it's usually boxing fans gloating about how well a boxer would do in a MMA match.
I have no illusions that a UFC fighter would fail in a boxing ring, just like a boxer would fail in the UFC without MMA skills.
No that can be debunked...

LOL!! That fight science had a boxing glove delivering 241 pounds of force while a MMA glove delivered 251 pounds of force not much i understand but your still not giving me any real evidence that UFC fighters get knocked out more than boxers. Your also not considering that UFC fighters get knocked out by kicks, Elbows, and strikes on the ground. But I wouldn't expect you to take any of this into consideration when it comes to your theory since you are a Grade A moron.
