Fedor Will Fight Overeem Only After He Passes Drug Test

[Liquidrob]

No, Fedor can't join the UFC because he would only be able to fight 'UFC fighters', he wants to be able to maintain his likeness rights, Sambo, fight in Japan or different orgs, etc...

At this point he can't fight 'UFC Fighters' because the UFC will not allow it

Also, you don't know that the UFC is the 'best offer', we pretty much found out the UFC's offer wasnt what they said it was, he actually gets more guaranteed money when he was with Affliction and with SF I believe

Fedor makes a nice chunk of money and is now part owner in M-1 also

C'mon everyone else can come to an agreement except for Fedor?

So every fighter besides Fedor fights in the UFC? Thats news to me

“I can say that the guaranteed -- and the word ‘guaranteed’ is of great importance here -- the guaranteed offer made by the UFC is less than what Fedor made before,” Raimond said. “The five-million (per fight) is way, way, way out of range. Half of that is even way out of range of what they offered.”

“And there were a number of provisions attached to that offer that made it very much less interesting,” Raimond said.

Many of those provisions involved the branding of M-1 within the UFC organization, according to Raimond.

“We made it clear that Fedor, now and forever is part, even part owner, of M-1 and those two cannot be separated,” Raimond said. “If the rest of M-1 is excluded from any kind of deal, it makes the deal difficult.”
