Only reason Fedor is coming out of retirement is because of Coker

[VB MMA]

Any interview Fedor gave in recent years, he said he was happy and done fighting.

Skip to earlier this year and Coker had reports of talking to Fedor.

Fedor has said Dana White needs to learn to respect people. And it's true. Dana shits on everybody, Frank Shamrock, Randy Couture, Fedor himself, Tito, is currently suing Wanderlei, etc. etc. Imo the MOST telling was Dana shitting on GSP. GSP was the model company man, one of it's biggest stars, was almost solely responsible for bringing Canadians to the ppv table, first to get big name sponsors, never comlained, always was respectful, always did what the UFC told him to...and what does Dana do? Dana publicly tells the world he thinks Hendricks beat GSP (which he didn't) and lies telling everybody GSP was SO busted up he had to go immediately to the hospital. And when GSP walked in a few seconds later, Dana looked like he'd just got caught getting a blowjob from his neighbors wife (don't ask me how I know. Sorry Paul :icon_cry2 ).

Coker recently took the helm over at Bellator. And true to Coker form, he makes massive changes right away, and gives fans the absolute best fights he can put on, given his limited roster. Make no mistake, fans and fighters alike are fed the fuck up with Zuffa and their business practices, not to mention the Reebok deal, etc. So Coker's timing couldn't be better. His roster will grow by leaps and bounds over the next few years. Fighters now have a viable alternative to the U Fight Cheap show.







Point is....there is NO POINT in speculating about where Fedor will sign. He will sign with his old friend, Scott Coker, the man who got him to come back to fighting in the first place. He will go to Bellator and be treated like the king that he is. Fans will bitch. Dana will bitch. But that is what will happen. Feel free to bump this thread if that is not what happens.

Nobody cares about the Reebok deal. Nobody cares what Dana does behind the scenes. Nobody cares if Fighters are fed up with ZUFFA. AND nobody really cares if Fedor comes back all that much. If he does good..if not, NO BIG DEAL!! What everybody wants are to see the best and most relevent Fights....PERIOD!!!!

So noob he "ducked" the UFC to fight the most successful UFc HW champ ever, the current New Breed UFC HW champ, a current top-4 New Breed UFC HW and a current top-10 UFC HW who was one of the few guys who actually fought for the UFC HW Title during Cain's "reign". He fought those guys and ducked that mighty HW division led by Penis tattoo WWE guy, Nog, Handy and Gaswin?

Only to get KOd by a MW, submitted by a guy that was brutally KOd bu JDS, and totally ragdolled by a less-than-elite Fighter. Yeah....he's a real threat there......NOOB )

It COULD be, as somebody else said itt, that he just had that competitive itch again and is young enough to still scratch it. I could see that being the case, tbh.

It's not ego, but it's because he has a competitive drive. Retiring for good after those M-1 wins is not how his career should end. It should end fighting the best in the world. That's why he called out Werdum.
