Fedor vs. Bigfoot in Feb...

[Drunken Cat]

Last I heard Kharitonov is slated to face Arlovski.

I think we should wait for a real announcement though before making too many speculations. So far it's all rumours.

[phallus]

Lol.. are we ever gonna see Reem/Fedor? Damn I wanna see this fight!

this is the money fight ^ if M1 doesn't get in the way, that is

Looks like the fight is already in trouble because of Fedor's management.

Dammit.. seriously, do u think m-1 has served him any good? Seems to me they have just held him back as of late.

I'm not sure what he's referring to, but apparently an article came out shortly after the rumor mill that contracts haven't been signed, which is 100% non-surprising seeing as there hasn't been an official announcement of any sort. M-1 also apparently posted on their website that an agreement has been reached for a contract extension (I saw it on another forum, and I think the actual post was in Russian, so it was a translation saying that M-1 had reached a deal with Strikeforce and Showtime). Again, just more speculation, so my advice, wait for the announcements.

I'd be interested to hearr Felenko's source though. I also wouldn't be surprised if it's the "no contracts have been signed" piece. They're playing you guys for website hits.

Felenko?

I got the update off of a few MMA news bloggers I follow on twitter.

Basically their reasoning is that M-1 has been the reason that Fedor hasn't fought much in the past three years. They've killed every proposed match up with contract negotiations. Now it looks like they'll be holding up this tournament since the ball will essentially be in M-1's court.

Nothing official, but it isn't much of a stretch

Which matches have they killed specifically with contract negotiations? Ive asked this several times with absolutely no answer from doubters and those with an agenda against M1.

This thing seems to be a goer, ive seen SF and M-1 report and similar thing.
