that was the first contract. the second contract allowed him to fight sambo as long as it wasnt close to a signed fight in the ufc. the excuse m1/fedor gave for the second contract was that the ufc wouldnt co-promote with them. again, this would be like walmart giving a lemonade stand space in walmart to sell their drink then giving the lemonade stand a % of the entire walmart store's profits. the ufc would never agree to that

my point earlier is that 5mil+ per fight to have the #1hw in the world ((a legend in the sport, arguably the greatest p4p ever, and he is only 33ish years old)) in the ufc is a good investment for zuffa and they could easily afford it. this is the point you keep trying to talk about and im not sure why. maybe i was unclear in my previous posts

i dont think they gave him 5mil+ per fight even if they can afford it,he is no1 and all but guy like randy is more popular and i dont see any reason why should guy who gets them less ppv and less money get bigger paycheck then more popular one who gets double the money for them.

that is good logic. however, i think the ufc saw fedor as an investment and someone that they could market well since the ufc is the best marketing machine in the biz

i think we see each others point clearly now and we have two different opinions

cheers mate /~/

I can't believe people actually voted for Rogers in the poll...

I think it's simply out of statistics...Fedor can't win all the fights...and he's getting old, slow and heavy...

I always thought Crocop would have deserved a rematch at that time...but anyway, I don't get why this useless fight against Rogers instead of going directly for the title against Lesnar.

...and I also think that Rogers is going to win...

WORD!! Let me take us all on a ride down memory
lane. The days when no whitey
would beat "bred for work" black ex-slaves in
a boxing match. Whitey already got his blackey
beatins in befo emancipitation. He be in debt to his
black brother.
Now it am different. Whiteys named Klitscho and stuff.
This be good for blackey. Make him really work for
those precious beatdowns on whitey.
Fond memories;Tommy Morrison John Waynes
very own, getting beatdown! Just Heavenly!
Word !. I mean "word up"! Heres a "whitemare"
JERRY COONEY. The lo point in whitey"disciplination" BY
"Easton Assassin" Larry Holmes !!!
No, our Great White Hope Fedor, aint done. No.
PLUS where him from, it aint all like that.
GREAT WHITE EMPEROR, Emily (for short!)
Doesn't have that "FEAR of a Black Planet" stamped
into his head YET!
Word!!

Fight fight nigga and a white, white CAN fight,
so rewrite . Fight,fight,whitey and a
blackey, blackey too slow, and this whitey
can GO!
Oh nooooo!!! Mr.Rodgers, what do we do?
"Don't call that whitey Fedor a peckerwood
in Ukrainian" "But Mr Rogers, whats a
Ukrainian"? Oh never you minds. Just
don't f..ck wit dat guy"

Lets ask Obama who will win!
"President Sir, Will Emilianenko Fedor, defeat
Brett "The Grim" Rogers in their MMA bout"? Pres.:
" Now Lookyhere boy, I don't rightly know what you just said
to me boy, come again"

This fight already took place in 2003. Fedor fought a bigger, stronger man by the name of Gary Goodridge, and didn't even give him time to strike.

How can anyone really think Fedor's going to lose this to a one-dimensional fighter?? Unless you're banking on Fedor being over-the-hill, this is a slamdunk can-fight.

fedor is probly gonna rock him with a bomb early in the first and if not he will bring to the ground and finnish with an armbar

Rogers only has a punchers chance. Fedor for the win.

Ive read a lot of shit on this & I get sick of the retards talkin all about Rogers like he is somebody...who the fuck is Rogers?? Ohhhhh big scary fat black guy...jesus...ok....Russia is a MUCH tougher place than the US will ever be & most other country's for that matter....I dont give a fuck who or where Rogers is from ...I'd pick the bad ass Russian any day especially if that man is Fedor Emelianenko....really wtf...we as americans(not all of us thank the fucking lord!) think guys like Kimbo Slice are OMG THE BADDEST MOTHERFUCKERS ALIVE!!!! yeah ok...please...then we have his buddy "Level" fighting lesser opponents with the same OMG THIS IS THE BADDEST DUDE EVER! bullshit....When have you EVER seen a vid of kimbo or level in a street fight & said...this is gonna be a good one!...never.....

My point is...its not always "the big black guy" that is gonna win or that is the better fighter...it may be a fucking LEGEND whitey from Russia

My predict? Rogers wings a bunch of slow ass punches...Fedor dodges & slips 99% of them...Rogers gets tired...Fedor gets stronger...Rogers gases...Fedor either smashes his fucking face or win by submission.....

Couldn't agree more dude! The fact that Fedor doesn't shoot his mouth off or pretend to be the baddest dude around, for me, just confirms how bad he really is. Does all his talkin in the cage. Can't wait for all the people backing Rogers to say after the fight ...."Hmmm, yeah we shoulda known Rogers was gona get pounded. It was Fedor after all!" lol.

Old? He's a year and a half older than Machida.
Slow? He dodged everything AA threw at him aside from a couple weak kicks, which he checked.
Heavy? He's still at 230. How is he getting heavy?

You know what happens when you assume?

"A Real UFC Champ" stated that he is not ready for fedor
