fedor never fought anyone he is and always was shit

@WadeGHamilton Fedor and Nog are the best heavyweights of all time, but it doesn't mean they won't get mauled by guys of today, it doesn't mean Lesnar can't beat either of them realistically. They beat the best in the world, they wont the champions, they reigned for years and nobody has scathed what they did as heavyweights yet in the sport.

@runite715 Amen to that brotha

[runite715]

I miss the Pride days with all my heart, as every true MMA fan does. Rampage, Wanderlei, Shogun and many more fighters will ALWAYS be legends because of what they did back in pride. I really miss the old days...

[WadeGHamilton]

@WanderleiSilva29 Yeah guys who think Lesnar is the greatest heavyweight of all time not even knowing who Fedor was LOL

@57worldwide We're not talking about Majority shareholders here. Everyone knows the majority shareholders are the Fertitta brothers. But again, if they say Dana White runs the business while they oversee it, who am i to doubt it?

[57worldwide]

@kanguesso He's not the majority shareholder, so if Dana White is making most of the day to day decisions he still isn't the one making most of the money. Zuffa makes the money from DVD sales etc. UFC doesn't own Strikeforce though, does it?

Dana White makes the decisions, such as exclusive contracts. Which is why so many fighters left the UFC periodically. It's just business though. I have heard a propostition to make Heavyweight lighter, and introduce an unlimited Super HW (not from Dana).

[kanguesso]

@57worldwide Zuffa, the UFC parent company now owns SF, however, in the near future the UFC will absorb all the talent from SF so yeah, the UFC will eventually own SF talent. If Lorenzo Fertitta says he stands out of the way and allows Dana White to make all or most of the day to day business operations, i gotta believe him.

@Kino483 You need to think about what you are saying. The UFC sells more, what does that mean? It means the package looks nice. According to this logic, Titanic was the best movie of all time, until Avatar was released.

You should be judging by the substance, not the styling. There are plenty of good fighters in the UFC - but the reason the UFC is so easy to sell has more to do with the fact the shows are being promoted. It isn't that making money allows you to promote - it's vice versa.
