M-1 fighters in the UFC?

hey, i'm a longtime mma fan and have quite the extensive knowledge of history and camps and friends and such, but i'm relatively new to the mma internet community (maybe 2-3 years) and have just recently found and joined the UG.

that being said i'm one of most who hope to see Fedor in the UFC for all those Pride-UFC dream matches as well as the new ones with the new UFC heavyweight stars.

BUT. after doing a mental check and some net surfing, my question:

has there ever been an M-1 fighter/Finkelstein client ever fought in the UFC? or more specifically, under the Fertita/Dana White brand UFC?

no one wants to answer a newbie?

or nobody knows the answer?

hi KKM

Fugazi - hi KKM



KKM? what does this mean?

GPinPittsburgh - JTB007,

so is Kimo still dead?



so you guys are just fucking with my thread huh?

see what i'm thinking is that if there have never been any Finkelstein managed/ M-1 fighters to ever fight in the UFC then my hopes of seeing Fedor in the octogon are probably not going to become reality.

 M-1 Fighters are not necessarily Finkelstein clients.



Stephan Struve was an M-1 fighter.

Dave Jansen fought in M-1 and just signed to the WEC.

Andrei Arlovski started with M-1 before joining the UFC as well.

ah. ok. thanks. i thought the two were exclusive. the Finkelstein was M-1 and vice versa.



thenaturalbone - Andrei Arlovski started with M-1 before joining the UFC as well.


was he managed by Finkelstein?



and how about Finkelstein clients? any ever fight in the UFC post 2001?
