Fedor Emelianenko vs UFC: An Analogy

Darren WongJul 29, 2009

For those of you who don't quite understand the UFC vs Fedor situation, let me explain it to you in other terms.

The UFC is like Windows 98, back in let's say...1998.  Dana White is Bill Gates, and his company, Zuffa, is Microsoft.

The UFC, or Windows, has a monopoly on the market.

Fedor Emelianenko is like some awesome piece of software.

UFC wants to run Fedor Emelianenko, but Fedor's owners want more money from Microsoft, because, as they see it, Fedor Emelianenko is the best word-processing fighting program ever created in Russia.

Microsoft doesn't see things this way.  Microsoft really wants to run Fedor, but ultimately, it really doesn't matter, because there are plenty of other software programs they can buy cheaper that will do the job satisfactorily.

The other programs may not be as good, but people will still buy them instead of Fedor, because they run on Windows.

If Fedor's owners won't sell Fedor for a reasonable price, Microsoft will just start releasing its own clunkier software at a cheaper price, until everyone buys it.

Furthermore, Bill Gates makes it so that none of Microsoft's software can load any Fedor files, further discouraging anybody else from using Fedor.

A lot of people wish that they could run Fedor, but they're used to their Windows computers, and can't be bothered into switching.  All of the good games are made for Windows, and switching over would simply be costly, and a hassle.

Despite many insisting that Fedor is a superior program, Fedor's owners end up making much less money than they would have if they sold Fedor to the UFC when they had the chance.

Fedor ends up being used only by devoted Linux users, while Microsoft Office gets really popular.

Does everything make sense now?
