Loretta Hunt of TheFightNetwork just released this little bombshell on us today. Fedor has signed with Russian promotion M-1 and will not be fighting in the UFC.
This seems to be a strange move for a man who is said to want to fight the best heavyweights in the world, and is a move that will guarantee he faces maybe 1-2 heavyweights ranked in the top 50 in the near future.
The UFC reported many time that a deal with Fedor was imminent, and it looks like it was only imminently doomed. The mega fight between Couture and fedor is undoubtedly off, as are many more mega matchups that could have happened only in the UFC. |
