rampage has already had his hass handed to him by fedor..
i think they should let brock get a couple more fights under his belt before they cut fedor loose on him. brock got where he is because he is aggressive and HUGE.
fedor has more talent, and has taken out some monster sized men several times. right now fedor is out of brocks league unless brock gets a chance to lay one of those wild monster fists out there.

i mean even that didnt matter in Pride cuz they had some CRAZY *** match ups. but they did have a lot of people fighting out f thir weigt classes, lik Wanderlei(lhw) and CroCop(hw) fought twice(both sick fights btw) and Wanderlei also fought Mark Hunt(BIG hw) and there were a bunch of fights with huge weight differences but and even the open wieght tournements Rampage and Fedor never fought in the same one, that was just a dumb statement to make sorry. i'm a big MMA fan and when i saw that i was lik WTF!?!?!

anyways here's an update:
"What M-1 meant by the UFC's"very generous offer"....

So we all know the deal with M-1 and what they are saying about co-promotion. I'm not here to say who's right and wrong in this deal, but I can tell you some of the specifics that were offered to Fedor.....
- The UFC offered Fedor a 6 fight, 30 million dollar contract. That's 5 mil a fight
- The UFC offered Fedor an immediate title shot
- Lesnar/Fedor would be the biggest PPV in MMA history (we assume), and the UFC offered M-1 Global a cut of the PPV on top of Fedor's purse.
- Fedor was free to wear as many M-1 logoed items as he wished.
- The UFC also relented on allowing Fedor to compete in combat sambo.
Apparently, for good or bad, M-1 refuses to sign a deal unless the UFC agrees to co-promote.
I can tell you right now, the boys at ZUFFA will never, EVER agree to that. So if M-1 doesnt relent on that item alone, the Fedor to UFC talks are dead. Look for Team Emelianenko to turn to Strikeforce next. With co-promotions already in the books with Affliction, that shouldnt be a stopping point.

WoW WoW WoW!!! he definately beat some names well worth mentioning, he beat Cro Cop and Nogueira when they were both in their prime beat Nogueira badly twice, also Mark Hunt, Andre Arlovski, Tim Silvia, Ricardo Arona, Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Semmy Schilt, Kevin Randleman, Kaziyuki Fujita, Hong-Man Choi all very worthy an damgerous fighters and he beat them all and made most of them look like amatuer fighters while doing it so he's definately a great fighter.
