The reason why UFC did not want to co-promote is because lots of guys from M1 would knock the UFC fighters on their asses and that would be a big blow to the hype house that Dana build... LOL

Its clear that Fedor wants to fight fighters in the UFC, but doesn't want to become a UFC fighter.Damn right its not about the money,Fedor is making it in his sleep.If he signs with them,though he has some exceptions in his contract,he won't be able to fight for anybody else but UFC, Fedor doesnt want that

Fedor vs velazques - UFC 145

That last show was sick... the first 3 fights ended in a submission in the 1st round in under 1 minute. How often do you see that in the UFC? The UFC has too many one dimensional wrestlers who are content to use weak GnP to stall their way to victory...

M-1 >>> UFC

@monaroCountry are they big in Europe. I get excited thinking about another crop of fighter coming up overseas. Personally I like different organizations being around b/c it builds up the big showdown. Accept none of these orgs ever cross promote

[ComradeAgopian]

Since Pride is gone , M1 Global is the home for serious fight fans , IMO . The UFC will never come close .

M-1 is growing every year and there are more and more talented fighters, but I think the M-1 fighters are still unable to compete even with the men of The Ultimate Fight

M-1 GLOBAL IS GOOD,BUT PRIDE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST FOREVER!!!!
