The famous fighter Fedor Emelianenko told why he chose Bellator, although he could sign a contract with the UFC. The athlete replied that he liked the position of Bellator President Scott Cocker.

“People said that ‘we have the best promotion, there is no better one in the world, etc.’ Everything was around their promotion. They said: “We think that you are the best fighter, we would like you to be beaten with us. We want to pay you so much, fight with Brock Lesnar. " I said that this is good money, I know who you pay and how much. But I said I wanted a little more. And I said that I have a team, multiple world champions in combat sambo and so on. And I would like them to come to the UFC too. To which they told me: “About you, we will think about a fee. And we don’t need your guys. " They said it in plain text. And at the same time Bellator, Scott came along. Here, first of all, there was a human attitude, which cannot be bought for money.

What is the impression left of Dana White? Unpleasant. He has money - that’s everything, there is no respect for the fighters, there is no respect for a person. Just money, that’s all. There is nothing human there. And it turns me off. Money, of course, is important for livelihoods and for the family. But exchanging human relations for money is not, "TASS quotes Emelianenko.

Not to shill for the UFC, but it’s a little more double sided than just that. His shit brain manager was trying to hardball UFC into co-promoting the event with M-1, which really, UFC had no reason to have to do.

He’s talking about another instance now, when they offered him to fight Lesnar in 2012. The copromoting story was couple of years before that, when Fedor had the aura of invincibility, before the Werdum and Silva losses

Not sure what he was thinking the second time around. By 2012 he was already damaged goods and had lost several times. What was he expecting at that point?

I’m convinced Fabio could of done big things had he stuck to boxing, dude had great hands and a chin made of granite.

Dana is a fight promoter and businessman— if he let emotions get involved then he’s only going to
Make his job much harder. I am shocked that more people don’t realize this

Yeah the word always was that negotiations fell apart because fedors management wanted them to sign all his other Russian buddies and the UFC wouldn’t
