I have to dissagree with the Pride better then UFC coments. I loved them both equally, but the cage to me is honestly better as no ring outs and what not. However, I loved them both and atleast the UFC is keeping Pride alive.
That being said, Fedor is the one who is going to loose this. The other promotions might be willing to give him more money upfront, but in the end he would get payed more by the UFC as their events actually sell PPV and are shown on TV where he would get more coverage. Merchandise is a big part of it too with a good fan base, not being in the UFC is going to do nothing but hurt him. He needs a "REAL" manager without an agenda. His agent seems to be more worried about himself then Fedor. Hopefully Fedor will relize life is short and his time as a fighter is limited. He has already wasted atleast 4yrs because he wants more then he deserves, White offered him plenty and it was fair.
