    Don't get your hopes up just yet. Keep in mind they've had years to get this done with no results.

    Re: Fedor to the UFC might be happening right now

    For the sake of our own uneventful lives, let's say it's true. He's signing.

    What do they do with him?

    Straight to Brock at the NYE event (skipping winner of Velasquez/Carwin)?

    Give him a spot on TUF to introduce him to casual North American fans?

    Throw him in with Heath Herring (the official welcoming can of the heavyweight division)?

    Tell him to come onto Fight Night and throw the WAMMA belt in the trash (Riddick Bowe style)?

    Fight night and TUF would be a slap in the face for Fedor, unless you meant coaching TUF. IMO Fedor should go straight to fighting Randy, then Mir or straight to Brock.

    I adjusted the title a little.

    Dana has already said that if Fedor signs, he gets an immediate title shot.

    Brock vs. Fedor @ the NYE show! Book it.

    I dunno. That is what is weird about this.

    The day after UFC 100, that idiot writer TJ Simers wrote a big ass article blasting the UFC for being too violent, immature, disgusting, inhumane, and other shit.

    I think it's just rumour mill bullshit. Vadim wants co-promotion for his business M-1, and the UFC definitely won't do that lol.

    Maybe Fedor manned up and fired him?
