Why MMA Fans Question Fedor's Legacy: "What Does He Want?"
Of course the article will cause either passionate love of sheer hatred towards me, but I feel i should explain to all the Fedor fans out there why so many MMA fans including myself, question Fedor's legacy and what are his management doing to eradicate such queries that bring down Fedor a few notches.
UFC Situation
Is it Fedor's fault or the UFC's fault why Fedor doesnt currently fight in the worlds #1 MMA organisation? Lets look at a quote stated by Fedor own brother Alexsander.
"You can deal with the UFC, I know they have a flexible contract system. All these talks about UFC and there strict terms of contract comes from only Fedor's management, (Vadim) who wants to push his business projects through Fedor's Fights"
Thats Fedor's own brother, what can you even say to that?
So is Fedor's management at fault, or is it Fedor's fault as well?
Fedor quotes " I have full control over my contracts and my career I get financial reports all the time. All contracts and important issues are discussed with me, I have full control of everything that"s going on."
So the UFC is offering to throw piles of money at Fedor. Fedor is in complete control of all the decisions regarding his career and according to Fedor's own brother they have a flexible contract system so whats the problem?
Do people seriously believe there is better competition for Fedor outside the UFC, lets look at Sherdogs recent rankings.
1. Fedor Emelianenko ( Strikeforce )
2. Brock Lesnar ( UFC )
3. Cain Velasquez ( UFC )
4. Shane Carwin ( UFC )
5. Frank Mir ( UFC )
6. Junior Dos Santos ( UFC )
7. Big Nog ( UFC )
Other than Fedor, all fighters within the top 7 are fighters for the UFC. What can you say to that?
Strikeforce Situation
So who are the guys Fedor plans to face outside of the UFC?
Fabricio Werdum, wait isnt that the guy who was brutally Ko'd by 6th ranked heavyweight JDS in the first round, then cut from the UFC?
It remains in doubt that Fedor and his people want to face anybody who may pose a threat to him even Fedor's own organisations champion Allistair Overeem.
Heres Vadims (Fedor's Manager) excuse as to why Fedor still hasn't, and wont be facing the Strikeforce Champion.
"I personally feel that Overeem did not reach the desired level to challenge Fedor. He has nothing to offer Fedor."
Im sure everybody thinks "What the heck is this guy been smoking?!" Clearly Vadim is seirously delusional.
You're telling me the 6ft 5, 260ibs Overeem who possesses 32 MMA wins to his credit is the reigning strikeforce heavyweight champion, and former K1 champion has nothing to offer Fedor?
Yet all these cans that have fought Fedor do. (this is why i discredit Fedor's manufactured record)
1. Zulu
2. Hong Man Choi
3. Matt Linland
4. Nayowa Ogawa
5. TsuYoshi Kosaka
6. Yugi Nagata
7. Gary Goodridge
8. Egidijus Valavicius
9. Fujita
10. Chris Haseman
11. Lee Hasdell
12. Ryushi Tanagisaw
13. Kerry Schall
14. Mihail Aposotolov
15. Hiroya Takada
16. Lewon Lagvilava
17. Martin Lazarow
All these guys would be lucky even to get cast on the Ultimate fighter reality TV series.
So, Fedor doesn't want to fight the best HW's in the world, which happen to be in the UFC, nor does he want to fight the champion of his own organisation. Am I missing something? This is alledgedly the No. 1 Heavyweight and P4P fighter in the world, yet, there is still so many unanswered questions.
So, I ask you the reader, "What does he want?"
