This thread will talk about the perfect storm of events currently swirling that will actually enable Fedor to fight in the UFC.
1. The UFC is going to sell. The cat is out of the bag. With the pending lawsuit and the proposed ali act extension into mma, Dana and Co cannot wait to unload. Fedor would give them some big revenue events and good pub.
2. With Conor and now Nate, the UFC is actually being forced to pay a select few closer to what they are worth. If the UFC can pay Conor 10 mil, then they can afford 2 for Fedor. That 2 mil is more than Fedor can make in any other organization.
3. They have a built in intrigue fights with Werdum, Hendo, and Bigfoot all under contract. These are all fights fedor would be interested in and none would result in him capturing the title and leaving with it.
4. With Rizin unable to even stream globally, Fedors brand would be maintained better in the UFC. Its better for his current and future potential earnings/sponsorships/marketing etc.
