most of the story's in white font, cupey.

 

So do they get Fedor contract...did he have 1 w/ affliction?

 

i don't know how relevent having him under contract or not is....suppose they do....it doesn't mean they can pay him whatever they want....unless he's willing to take a cut (which eventually he may be forced to do to get some work), he'll come at the same price as he was to Affliction, the same sort of price UFC have been unwilling to offer for all these years.

 

Rumour is StrikeForce are trying to get Fedor. They're ready to offer him 700K per fight. Just a rumour.

 

I guess they are ready to put on worse cards then, cause paying Fedor that much there won't be much left for anyone decent.

 

sorry, only just picked up on this quote by Affliction co-founder, Eric Foss.....[FONT=&quot]

"Our brand is synonymous with the “Live Fastâ€￾ approach to life"......yeah, and the 'die young' part is equally as appropriate
