Maybe not thread-worthy but whatever...


So at the 148 post-fight conference...Dana was saying that UFC will possibly be going to Russia sooner than people think...also didn't Fedor officially leave M-1, they've been the block with Fedor in the UFC in the past. UFC always has Bisping/Hardy in UK, Anderson in Brazil, now they want Cung Le in the China debut...how gigantic would the first UFC in Russia be with Fedor in the main-event...(And obviously the first argument is he's retired...but this would be amazingly huge for Him, UFC, and Russia)

So my question is...doesn't this look like it's lining up nicely, or am I just a crazy conspiracy theorist...most likely the latter haha. And also if Fedor does headline in Russia..who would he fight?

You're a conspiracy theorist, but I like this thread. If Fedor were to headline/be in it, it would be awesome in every sense of the word, but it won't happen.

Side note: I think Fedor's biggest mistake was not entering the UFC years ago. It seems like if you and everyone else thinks you are the best, you would sign in, regardless of dislike for the organization. Man, what a mistake; I honestly think he could've been champ and defended times over if he was part of the roster...

Fedor would be pretty awesome, but very unlikely. I would like to see Kharitonov fight on the card though, and that is actually very possible.

Its times like this where I wish Igor was a bit younger .. :(

He would get destroyed in front of his people, and would give me a big lol. Too bad he is retired, and dumb enough to not have came to the UFC when Pride folded..
