his name is fuckn gary. he just calls himself jerry because he thinks it sounds cooler. hes a scumbag and a retard and is the main reason y pride failed
No! he's not in it for the right reasons.If he is then why does he set up fights for Fedor against crap fighters just to make him look good.Fedor fought guys with records like 23-23,24-25,16-17,2-5,3-7.These are fact.Now when i think about it.He doesn't give a shit about Fedor.He just cares about his money.Thats why he turned down UFC because he knew Fedor would lose and he would lose money off him.He's just making Fedor big and look good for the money he makes off him.Fedor deserves better!
ufc is all about flags not whos the best fighter lol like look at there best guys anderson silva for example hes shit but dana trys so hard to make him look ok but ppl just try to pretend that sliva didnt get tapped out on two seprate occasions to no-name japanese fighters lol the truth is all the latin immagrants and all the americans sittin in front of the tv dont want to see european fighter ko there favorite guys or else ufc would be bankrupt now, its actually kinda smart but unfair
Oh so Fedor would fight Brock for free but not for the money he was offered?? What an idiot Jerry Millen is the biggest douchebag that watches MMA because he has nothing to do with the sport.
M-1 wanted a part of the UFC for one fucking guy. He says if Dana is serious about putting on the fights fans want, but what about this guy, doesn't he want to see his guy fight in the top organization. Strikeforce ain't got shit for heavyweights, they got Overeem, Silva, and Werdum, then who else, Fedor would go 0-3 against those guys, he's already 0-1
@stockmaster1982 You can't expect UFC to give a stock of their company for one fighter.That shouldn't even come into the conversation. How the fuck can they ask for a part of the UFC? That's balls
@stockmaster1982 That isn't a bad idea. If that were to happen, M-1 should give the UFC money to help promote it, and the UFC could pay em what M-1 spent and a certain percentage based on revunue. M-1 needs UFC, not the other way around. Fedor is M-1. I'm not a fan of Fedor. I think the top five HW's in the UFC could beat him, and Anderson and other MW's and LWH's. Fedor needs UFC, and he better get in before his candle is completely out. I do want to see him fight Brock though, among others
Did Millen miss how Lesnar was 106-5 in NCAA and the div-1 champ at hW?
did Millen miss how Lesnar turned down 45 million dollars from the WWE to compete in a cage? thats a real champ, fedor and m-1 would let fedor fake wrestle for 7 years and laugh to the bank.
Hey Millen, you're meal ticket just lost. You can forget about leeching off of the UFC now, The UFC now has the #1 fighter in every weight class from 135-265 (I consider the WEC as a part of the UFC). I won't be surprised if SF folds in the next year or 2, another casualty of copromoting with M1
this guy is full of shit make it seem like they want what fans want! asshole there the one who wont make the deal with fador in the ufc happen this asshole was saying that fedor would not sign with the ufc becouse of the bull that dana's been saying about him now what kind of bullshit is that
going through some of these comment im shocked to discover so many brainwashed ufc fanboys who listen to dana like thier own daddy, what these fanboys dont realize is dana the bald eagle does not care about them he only needs money and more money,if he would care he would make the cock lesner fight vs fedor, fedor said he would even fight this roid beast for free!!!
Why I have a feeling that M-1Global makes the same mistake the Soviet Union did. The USSR began exploring space instead of balancing and building its economy. The same with M-1 They want world wide organisation but forget that it is easier to bring the talent over to them and instead of having many low quality events they should do as Dream and UFC and Strikeforce - having less number of events but much higher quality of fighters. Image comes first(quality) then comes the size(quantity).
There does need to be more successful MMA organizations besides the UFC. THAT I agree with. Everything else he said...dude is just talking out of his ass.
Dana crying cus he didn't sign Fedor?
Does he not realize that ALL they have is Fedor? The only reason ANYONE is talking about M-1 is cus of Fedor. What kind of "competition" only has 1 valuable fighter to work with?
Regardless of whether or not Fedor signs with the UFC, M-1 needs to get rid of this clown, he's making them look terrible.
@ShadySouljahv2 not realy. everything he says its true. if dana white wasnt such a money hungry greedy pig, he would co promote with m-1 and have fedor fight in ufc for a few fights. or even one fukin fight. but dana is a stubborn hard headed fuck . dana white was against ultijmate fighter in the first place. he didnt even want the realitys how to ever take place
You're a fucking retard. Why should the UFC that has spent 17 years building their brand and risked everything to be successful co-promote a show with ANYONE? They don't need to. M1 Global is a fucking joke and ZERO credibility. If they were worth co-promoting with and brought anything to the table why did Affliction fail when they co-promoted? Only time will tell whether or not their partnership with Strikeforce will pan out.
@Shineshop2008 first of all if you have to take dana's dick out of your mouth before you talk. heres the bottom line. if the ufc wants to give the fans the FIGHTs we all want to see then their goin to have to make a lil bit less profit(50 percent) and copromote just a few fights. so basicaly dana white wont get to built a 500ft pool in his backyard. maybe a 300ft pool. thats wat the difference is. but their greedy fucks so they wont do it
yes and no?! This guy used to be imprtant in pride but is a has been now. He has some role in m1 but not head of M1, think he used to translate but was unpopular....
@eltubster14 you don't know shit dumbass... look at this dumb ass jerry millen saying brock lesnar got a title fight after 4 pro fights. and then goes on saying on brett rodgers deserved to fight fedor the best heavyweight to ever live after beating one decent guy (arlovski). this guy is a dumbass
Who the fuck is this guy? He's connected with Fedor. Wow!!! My friends Dad knows a guy who knows Dana White, they should interview me. This guy is a dipshit, Burger King and McDonalds need each other?
@mr3ggroll millen doesn't know shit. brock is pure athlete, he tried out for pro football after his wwe days and almost made the team even though he haven't played football since high school. then he goes on to suck brett rogers dick as if he deserved to fight fedor the best ever after 6-7 fights
Either many of you think in very simplistic and child-like terms, or your very dim.
Ofc Dana is interested in ratings, ofc Dana puts press and marketing at a very high priority- you need these things for mma to grow.
Diss him and the ufc all you like- without the ufc this sport would not only be were it is now but it would never get anywhere near where it is headed.
To be honest the fertitta's played more than a big part and absolute huge part is more like it because without their money dana white wouldnt be where he is now!Also im pretty sure that when the concept of the ultimate fighter reality show was mentioned dana was against it because he hates reality tv but the fertitta's thought it would be a great platform because they had a reality tv show done on there casino business.
BoxingBadBoy77, no one knew how successful TUF was going to be. Reality shows have a tendency of making its casts look like complete fools, Dana obviously didn't want that to happen to the fighters, I'd be skeptical about a reality show as well. But man, did TUF blow up!
cont... and wanted the same money he got in affliction to fight (which is ridiculous!), with a fight clause that could say he could leave at anytime even if he was the title holder, leaving the ufc with a fighterless heavyweight belt. that would be VERY bad business, and dana knows that. fedor will come to the ufc, but on a respectable (to both parties) contract. strikeforce have paid alot to get fedor, maybe too much and we will see if their business plan will keep them afloat.
first of all fedor wanted too much to come into the ufc! he wanted m1 global to take a share in ufc and bring all of its fighters, which would not necessarily make the grade but will get fights because m1 would have a say. meaning we will see match ups that would be horrible! cont...
Dont think i like millen or white.They both make sense sometimes regarding this fedor buisness but with these two argying all the time we may never see fedor fight the lesnar machine. millen is always so provocative just like white too.Tthis argument may never end.
lol white and millen are very alike thats why they clash!I used to be a fan of dana's but i just dont believe a word that comes out of his mouth these days ie he kept saying how kimbo slice sucked as a fighter and yet he puts him on tuf because he knows he'll generate huge ratings and even now after kimbo got pretty much dominated in his tuf loss to roy nelson dana's stil saying he'll fight in the ufc again and lets be honest its because of the amount of money they can make off him not his
the most dangerous fighters in the world r ones that participate in an underground event called the "kumite", these fighters are unknown for a reason, there killers and vicious, there brutal in every way, no wonder they dont go into organizations *nervous chuckle*
if fedor wanted to and every other SAMBO user, they could go for the throat shots, which they are taught in the army. But then what? the person might be dead, is that fucking worth it?
No, on ly a retard watch underground fights and support it.
this guy is so stupid, he just admited that its not good bisness for the ufc to do work with M1 he said it himself in this interview. why doesnt fedor fight the best to be the best u hav to fight the best..fedor will be the highest paid fighter in mma if he joins the ufc. he said i keep dana in the news wat a joke in every interview he talks about dana, its hard to find interviews were dana is talking about him hes an ass hole
SInce its stealing great players from other countries?
I would love to see our Sweidhs hockeyplayers in Sweden, but thats not the place were the best players gather to play, and thats it. Should there be competetion? sure,especially for smaller names to become big, but UFC is already the NHL and NBA, however Millen wants M-1 (russian owned) to be as big as for ex UFC and get more money, he doesnt give a shit about the sport.
Its easy to say you care for the sport when you got nothing, UFC was almost bankrupted at one point, UFC didnt just start rich one day. It has become big in the later years.
Ofc they gonna take care of their own brand when their competiion is going bankrupt like EliteXC and Affliction.
Is Dana wealthy and showing it off? yes, he probably makes more money then he shows,but he made UFC Into what it is today (sure Fertitta the billionarie played a BIIIG PART in it too).
of course the fertitas played a big part, they fronted dana 44 million just one month after he threw them the sale offer... and Dana makes a shitload of money from the UFC...he has 10% shares of Zuffa, meaning if the UFC raked in $500 million this year, he'd get 10% of that. he's going to be a billionaire before 2015, for sure! and that's why these M1-Global clowns want a piece.
Sure, DW probably makes more money then he deserves and some of it could land to the fighters ,but the truth is, MMA is new and ppl make good money in the UFC atm. And it works because they dont have to give away 50% of the profits to fucking russian clowns.
i hear you man, mma is just way too new... just look at it this way, it took boxing almost 100 years for the fighters to start making mega millions per fight, but the promoters and owners got rich long before that. MMA, particularly the UFC, will get the fighters to that level in a 1/4 of that time.
@Mancini234, Right about what? this douchebag, Millen, makes it seem like Mcdonalds(ufc) and arbys(m1) need to work together to further expand the fast food franchise...get the fuck outta here, they are competitors and this is business.
Millen is just the little competitor begging, in his own way, for Dana to give him a piece of his pie.
M1 just doesn't want to go down like eliteXC and affliction, and trying to cling on to the UFC is his best chance.
@Mancini234, NO ONE, not Dana, Not the fertitas, is forcing mma fans to buy tickets or ppvs, we are the ones monopolizing it.
Obviously it's Zuffas goal to make the UFC brand the very best in the world and to destroy all competition, but that's every business' goal, you shouldn't be doing business if that's not your mindset.
Millen is whining because he is on the losing side, trying to sucker fans into feeling sorry for him and M1. I saw his pathetic comments coming a mile away.
@secret212000 Absolutely nailed it. It's hilarious watching this guy pretend he doesn't need Dana's money. M1 are so utterly desperate to coopt UFC for a piece of the pie you can smell it. Fedor is there only ace and once he gets demolished by Overeem we can hopefully see him and M1 fade into obscurity.
I don't get why fans like you can't comprehend the business aspect of sports, it goes hand-in-hand with every sport... fights can't just magically happen because fans wanna see it, it's all about the fighters stepping up to the plate and signing the damn contract, instead of hiding like a bitch behind questionable business men like Millen.
Fedor has done a great job dodging the UFC by using the co-promotion issue as an excuse to not fight in the UFC.
not ALL the best fighters are in the UFC. what about all the places that UFC has never been to before? the places where those countries dont even have it on TV? theres thousands of fighters out there who dont even have an opportunity to get in the UFC
so whats your point?.... although these organizations (nfl,nhl,nba, mlb,....) are located in north america, they collect talent from all over the world.
fedor is going to destroy brett rogers, rogers got lucky against arlovski, arlovski probably underestimated him, he threw a kick and rogers threw a punch at the same time and caught him
I fell sorry for fighters like Brett Rogers. Does Rogers actually think he would be "allowed" to win ? Fedor is the only name this guy keeps repeating because he's the only one they have. Fedor losing = dead M1 Global. I do believe UFC needs a legitimate competitor though. This guy's company is unfortunately a joke. Once the money pie gets bigger specially in Europe I'm sure a legitimate competing promotions would emerge.
FUCK M1 GLOBAL FUCK THE MILLEN talkin as if lessnar is just a wwe guy lessnar can fight i wonder would gerry say this if lessnar was beside him he would wet his pants
Give me a break, M1 Global is not a competitor to UFC in any measure. M1 Global is a terrible company that has no assets beyond Fedor. They're leaches and parasites trying to profit off the success of larger companies like UFC and Strikeforce, and when Fedor folds like a house of cards we both so will M1.
That's why this guy is scared if Fedor loses, he knows his so called company is shit without him.
Basically everything Jerry Millen says there is true. I don't agree that Dana is going to be all that worried about Strikeforce, because they are still to small to compete with the UFC. But there are alot of other fighters outside the UFC who need somewhere to fight.
There's no point in choosing to believe either this guy or Dana. Just let them do business and make more fights. Someone has to put on the guys that the UFC doesn't sign.
Ha Ha I'm sure he cried all the way home is his black fucking Ferrari you idiot. He just wants to see Fedor's ass get kicked like most pride fighters. Go snort another line homo. This guy couldn't even hold Dana's jock. He will be gone in the next few years and Dana will be in every country with all the great fighters , but a washed up Fedor. Oh yeah great job with Hung Man Gook. This guy is a complete loser!
LOL. StrikeForce will be dead in a few months. No one gives a shit. If Fedor was such a draw then why did Bodog, Affliction and every other company M-1 was involved with died.
M-1 is the reason why Fedor isn't in the UFC and not allowing the fans to see Brock vs Fedor. M-1 said they would only sign Fedor is UFC would co-promote with M-1.
Co-promote for M-1 means taking in half of the profits. The UFC will never do this, and would be stupid to do so. Fedor has only one solid fight at HW at strikeforce and its Alistair Overeem. His other two fights are Rogers (would get eaten by Carwain, Cain, Gonzaga). Werdum (Mir/Nog/Randy are better).
well thsoe mma douchebags are willing to co promote with anything they were even willing to send their fighters fight UFC fighters in an independant organisation like what UFC did with Fedor vs Sylvia...why dont they do that anymore?
Of course they're willing to co promote dumbass, they've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by co promoting with the hugest organization ever. The UFC only has to gain freaking Fedor from that you tool. At least they gave them a very good offer, allowing them to even advertise their company, that and tons of money and whatever Fedor wanted. They gave them EVERYTHING they wanted and only asked Fedor. Everything but coprom. Pff. The UFC had nothing to do with Fedor V Sylvia idiot.
no tehy have tog ain HUGE amount of fans in japan, MMA is bigger in japan then it is in the states, M1 global is big in japan and in europe, UFC is non existant there, and exactly sylvia vs fedor was affliction based but the UFC had to allow sylvia to fight outside it and when they saw that there HW got demolished well thats bad publicity so NEVER AGAIN lol youre a dumb fuck, "only asked fedor" only asked for the top HW in the world
In English motherfucker. Sylvia was already out of the UFC when he fought in Affliction, dumbass troll. Last time White sent one of his fighters it was Chuck Liddell to Pride. MMA fanbase in Japan is shrinking by the day and is nowhere near as big as it is in the U.S.A. M-1 is non-existent in Japan and is only relatively succesful in Eastern countries.
The amazing thing about Millen is not that he says this stuff into a camera, but that he presumably believes that anyone is buying it. He must think the MMA world is full of idiots, otherwise there wouldnt be any point in telling lies that are so easily exposed. If he had any respect for our intelligence, he would at least take the time to come up with more plausible lies.
Fedor for sure is itching to shut up Brock with fighting him in any alley in the states because the fans wants it, Dana just wouldnt make it happen..Fedor is not to blame for not selling his soul to a one sided Org.
of course dana dosent want to make it happend, look at what happend last time dana agreed to send his heavyweight champ agaisnt Fedor he got fucking destroyed in 36 seconds
You ignorant retard, Dana White kicked Sylvia out of the UFC cause he sucked and obviously couldn't hold his own with the top fighters in the UFC. Hence why Fedor kicked his ass. Fedor only kicks UFC rejects' ass.
yeah but at the time he ebat sylvia sylvia WAS the current UFC champ, and tons of interviewers criticised dana for his heavy weight division and dana ALWYS ALWAYS bashed on them telling them they didnt wtf they were talking about and he kept saying that the UFC had the best HW divison in the world while sylvia was champion then he bought pride crocop joined ufc, nogeuria joined the ufc couture went back in and THEN dana said ROFL well he repeted himself LOL
Dumbass, MMA business is like no others, comparing it to McDonald and Burger King is like comparing apples to oranges. UFC doesn't need competition because it's doing very well on it's own, and no other organizations will ever be able to actually compete with the UFC anyway. The UFC doesn't need competition and will never have one just like the NBA or NFL don't.
How much money does the ufc need? wtf...how much money do you need you fucking chump. if you cared about us the fans then you would have taken the huge amount of money dana offered you and not held out for co promotion so you could build a bigger pool, fucking chump. fuck this guy.
I don't really like dana white all that much, but this guy is just a parasite. Can he give a single interview without talking about dana? All he does is try to draw attention to himself by mentioning dana white. M-1 is nothing. M-1 is fedor. Without fedor M-1 is nothing. He talks about M-1 like its this huge company doing so much for MMA. I like how he says dana wouldn't let brock fight fedor in a gym cause all he cares about is money. Thats absurd.
I don't really think that's their business model unless it changed? Fedor just signed, hasn't fought, and hasn't even been hyped much. In my opinion they are doing a horrible job of even promoting him.
M1 is totally based on Fyodor. Mousasi should be a huge draw based on talent and record, but he really isn't. So yeah the promotion folds if Fyodor folds. They have no one. They signed Lawal for one fight and who does he get? KERR?? They have no stable of fighters.
I was talking about strikeforce, I keep forgetting that m1 is actually a partner with them now. They seem like such a half assed second rate business it's hard to rememeber that they are truly the ones that have fedor and fedor is a part owner. According to their website (last time I checked) they have fedor, gegard, and karl ammasou (sp). lol
Dana is a piece of shit.

the company is stupid, and i know dana wouldn't do

other m1 fighters, and make it into a UFC vs m1
type of event, (only 1 time), isn't such a bad idea.
It's a great way to show the superiority of the UFC
and it also is a great way to finally see Brock vs
fedor! Giving up a % of UFC is stupid. But sharing
revenue for 1 event, that's different!

Either many of you think in very simplistic and child-like terms, or your very dim.
Ofc Dana is interested in ratings, ofc Dana puts press and marketing at a very high priority- you need these things for mma to grow.
Diss him and the ufc all you like- without the ufc this sport would not only be were it is now but it would never get anywhere near where it is headed.

To be honest the fertitta's played more than a big part and absolute huge part is more like it because without their money dana white wouldnt be where he is now!Also im pretty sure that when the concept of the ultimate fighter reality show was mentioned dana was against it because he hates reality tv but the fertitta's thought it would be a great platform because they had a reality tv show done on there casino business.
BoxingBadBoy77 2 years ago
BoxingBadBoy77, no one knew how successful TUF was going to be. Reality shows have a tendency of making its casts look like complete fools, Dana obviously didn't want that to happen to the fighters, I'd be skeptical about a reality show as well. But man, did TUF blow up!

cont... and wanted the same money he got in affliction to fight (which is ridiculous!), with a fight clause that could say he could leave at anytime even if he was the title holder, leaving the ufc with a fighterless heavyweight belt. that would be VERY bad business, and dana knows that. fedor will come to the ufc, but on a respectable (to both parties) contract. strikeforce have paid alot to get fedor, maybe too much and we will see if their business plan will keep them afloat.
DeezNutzOnUrFace 2 years ago
first of all fedor wanted too much to come into the ufc! he wanted m1 global to take a share in ufc and bring all of its fighters, which would not necessarily make the grade but will get fights because m1 would have a say. meaning we will see match ups that would be horrible! cont...

So you dislike NHL,NFL and NBA also?
SInce its stealing great players from other countries?
I would love to see our Sweidhs hockeyplayers in Sweden, but thats not the place were the best players gather to play, and thats it. Should there be competetion? sure,especially for smaller names to become big, but UFC is already the NHL and NBA, however Millen wants M-1 (russian owned) to be as big as for ex UFC and get more money, he doesnt give a shit about the sport.
quezcatol 2 years ago
Its easy to say you care for the sport when you got nothing, UFC was almost bankrupted at one point, UFC didnt just start rich one day. It has become big in the later years.
Ofc they gonna take care of their own brand when their competiion is going bankrupt like EliteXC and Affliction.
Is Dana wealthy and showing it off? yes, he probably makes more money then he shows,but he made UFC Into what it is today (sure Fertitta the billionarie played a BIIIG PART in it too).
quezcatol 2 years ago
of course the fertitas played a big part, they fronted dana 44 million just one month after he threw them the sale offer... and Dana makes a shitload of money from the UFC...he has 10% shares of Zuffa, meaning if the UFC raked in $500 million this year, he'd get 10% of that. he's going to be a billionaire before 2015, for sure! and that's why these M1-Global clowns want a piece.
secret212000 2 years ago
Sure, DW probably makes more money then he deserves and some of it could land to the fighters ,but the truth is, MMA is new and ppl make good money in the UFC atm. And it works because they dont have to give away 50% of the profits to fucking russian clowns.
quezcatol 2 years ago
i hear you man, mma is just way too new... just look at it this way, it took boxing almost 100 years for the fighters to start making mega millions per fight, but the promoters and owners got rich long before that. MMA, particularly the UFC, will get the fighters to that level in a 1/4 of that time.

Millen is just the little competitor begging, in his own way, for Dana to give him a piece of his pie.
M1 just doesn't want to go down like eliteXC and affliction, and trying to cling on to the UFC is his best chance.
secret212000 2 years ago 13
Millen is right about the UFC trying to be a monopoly.
Mancini234 2 years ago
@Mancini234, NO ONE, not Dana, Not the fertitas, is forcing mma fans to buy tickets or ppvs, we are the ones monopolizing it.
Obviously it's Zuffas goal to make the UFC brand the very best in the world and to destroy all competition, but that's every business' goal, you shouldn't be doing business if that's not your mindset.
Millen is whining because he is on the losing side, trying to sucker fans into feeling sorry for him and M1. I saw his pathetic comments coming a mile away.
secret212000 2 years ago
@secret212000 Absolutely nailed it. It's hilarious watching this guy pretend he doesn't need Dana's money. M1 are so utterly desperate to coopt UFC for a piece of the pie you can smell it. Fedor is there only ace and once he gets demolished by Overeem we can hopefully see him and M1 fade into obscurity.

@stockmaster1982
I don't get why fans like you can't comprehend the business aspect of sports, it goes hand-in-hand with every sport... fights can't just magically happen because fans wanna see it, it's all about the fighters stepping up to the plate and signing the damn contract, instead of hiding like a bitch behind questionable business men like Millen.
Fedor has done a great job dodging the UFC by using the co-promotion issue as an excuse to not fight in the UFC.

I fell sorry for fighters like Brett Rogers. Does Rogers actually think he would be "allowed" to win ? Fedor is the only name this guy keeps repeating because he's the only one they have. Fedor losing = dead M1 Global. I do believe UFC needs a legitimate competitor though. This guy's company is unfortunately a joke. Once the money pie gets bigger specially in Europe I'm sure a legitimate competing promotions would emerge.

Mojo1982 2 years ago
Give me a break, M1 Global is not a competitor to UFC in any measure. M1 Global is a terrible company that has no assets beyond Fedor. They're leaches and parasites trying to profit off the success of larger companies like UFC and Strikeforce, and when Fedor folds like a house of cards we both so will M1.
That's why this guy is scared if Fedor loses, he knows his so called company is shit without him.
Ronin2051 2 years ago
Basically everything Jerry Millen says there is true. I don't agree that Dana is going to be all that worried about Strikeforce, because they are still to small to compete with the UFC. But there are alot of other fighters outside the UFC who need somewhere to fight.

convicsik 2 years ago
M-1 is the reason why Fedor isn't in the UFC and not allowing the fans to see Brock vs Fedor. M-1 said they would only sign Fedor is UFC would co-promote with M-1.
Co-promote for M-1 means taking in half of the profits. The UFC will never do this, and would be stupid to do so. Fedor has only one solid fight at HW at strikeforce and its Alistair Overeem. His other two fights are Rogers (would get eaten by Carwain, Cain, Gonzaga). Werdum (Mir/Nog/Randy are better).

They gave them EVERYTHING they wanted and only asked Fedor. Everything but coprom. Pff. The UFC had nothing to do with Fedor V Sylvia idiot.

no tehy have tog ain HUGE amount of fans in japan, MMA is bigger in japan then it is in the states, M1 global is big in japan and in europe, UFC is non existant there, and exactly sylvia vs fedor was affliction based but the UFC had to allow sylvia to fight outside it and when they saw that there HW got demolished well thats bad publicity so NEVER AGAIN lol youre a dumb fuck, "only asked fedor" only asked for the top HW in the world
Pekeno201 2 years ago
In English motherfucker. Sylvia was already out of the UFC when he fought in Affliction, dumbass troll. Last time White sent one of his fighters it was Chuck Liddell to Pride. MMA fanbase in Japan is shrinking by the day and is nowhere near as big as it is in the U.S.A. M-1 is non-existent in Japan and is only relatively succesful in Eastern countries.

M1 is totally based on Fyodor. Mousasi should be a huge draw based on talent and record, but he really isn't. So yeah the promotion folds if Fyodor folds. They have no one. They signed Lawal for one fight and who does he get? KERR?? They have no stable of fighters.
