Biggest match that never was made

The only time the UFC has co-promoted was Conor/Floyd, which reports are saying generated them $180M, which is a no brainer.

Fedor wasn’t worth it, and was rightfully turned down. Fedor’s team caused the deal to end, not the UFC.

Properly promoted, Fedor would have generated truck loads.; not McGregor and Mayweather type numbers but certainly profitable and probably multiple million PPVs. I guess I just don't believe Dana in this scenario, as he has historically been a more prolific liar.
 
Probably based on the time I was coming up, but Chuck vs. Wanderlei was the big one, which then turned into Randy vs. Wanderlei. Pride faked like they wanted to do some cross promotional fights, but neither of those even came close to materializing.

M1 was making a few absurd demands back then, I don't fault the UFC for not signing Fedor once Affliction went under .

Then you obviously don't know MMA very well
Pride had the best there ever was in MMA talent.
Why do you think he let the ICEMAN compete there and he got his ass kicked by rampage!??!
Because he was arrogant and cocky and thought he had the best talent on earth, and when liddell went back to defend his belt it was hard to call him the BEST 205 pounder in the world, a fact he would NEVER concede
He didn't want Fedor enough to celebrate that a man would come over and essentially do what NOGIERA did, it's hilarious that people put NOGIERA on a pedistole, when he got his Ass kicked twice by fedor,

There is literally nothing to suggest that Fedor could’ve ever generated “multiple million PPVs”.
 
Sylvia vs crocop
Arlovski vs couture
Leben vs lawler
 
Dan Henderson/Couture
Liddell/Silva at 205

How stupid are you? It had nothing to do with whatever retarded bullshit you are trying to spew, it was Fedor's management and the UFC being unable to come to a deal. If you followed MMA then, you would remember the mess that was those negotiations. The UFC did want Fedor, they want anyone who can make them money and his success in Pride would only make that easier. But M1 wanted things like co-promotion and other things that the UFC was unwilling to concede.

Stop being stupid.
 
Fedor-Barnett

I never understood why there was so much interest for Fedor-Couture. no disrespect, as I love Randy...but I honestly believe Fedor would have *wrecked* him.
