If Fedor goes to BodogFight, watch countless others follow. If he's there, it becomes "legit" for any figher on earth. This is huge for the becoming of BodogFight.

I actually think it will go the other way. If Fedor signs on with Bodog, he will be stuck fighting lesser known fighters, or fighters that are from lower weight classes. I don't see any big name fighters going to Bodog long term just to chase Fedor, when they can chase HW belts in UFC/Pride.

If this happens, watch the HW champs in UFC/Pride become megastars, while Fedor fights fat redneck guy #6 on the back page of the sports section. I hope that doesn't happen, because I think if Fedor jumps on board, he could become the biggest name in any combat sport.

I think that if Fedor goes, that many will follow just to take him on. And Bodog can afford to pay them the big bucks. Hell, the owner of Bodog is a billionaire. He was on the cover of Forbes and so Bodog has some deep pockets and can pay the fighters very well.

haha... I looked on Bodog's site but couldn't find any information on how to become one of their fighters..

reason I say that is MOST of the MWs, LHWs, and even some HWs, I could easily, or at least beat. Seriously...

I don't have some amazing credentials to hold up at this point, but I always watch it on ION and I'm like... wtf, I could beat these dudes.

Fedor does whatever the hell Fedor wants to do, and really, he deserves to call his own shots. Remember, people, this was the same guy who chose to fight Yuji Nagata instead of whoever Pride was going to pit him up against. He will go with whoever pays him his money, and I don't blame him at all.

rbunnell · 04-10-2007, 05:24 PM

Damone put it perfectly, Fedor will go where he feels is best (financially) for his future. Trust me, there will never be a lack of competitors for Fedor. FEDOR DOES WHATEVER THE HELL FEDOR WANTS TO DO. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE UFC LETTING HIM OFF THAT EASY, IT'S NOT THEIR CALL.

Prediction: He'll join UFC.

I think that if Fedor choses to live his MMA career in Bodog, he'll be missing the chance to become one of the most recognised superstars in MMA history. I think he knows the competition in PRIDE and UFC is much better than Bodog. If he signs with PRIDE/UFC he has Couture, Big Nog, Arlovski, Liddell, Sylvia and most importantly.. Crocop to fight.

No one in Pride or UFC can beat fedor. He has proven to be the best MMA fighter and should call his own shots. I hope he does go to bogdog because that will do good things for the MMA world in the long run. If anyone has something to prove they have to come to him because he is the best.
