So it looks like Fedor came out of retirement to fight a 1-0 guy!

You care enough to pop out of nowhere and comment multiple times on it. There's enough care that it seems most people are disappointed by him not going to the UFC and now fighting an over the hill kickboxer.

As far as the money, it's all supposedly guaranteed whereas the UFC would probably make a portion of it a win bonus and then the PPV would have to pull big numbers.

Though I would prefer him at least fight mid level guys, I will watch because Fedor is the greatest HW if not fighter of all time. I can't blame him for taking easy money at the end of his career, 99.9% of people would. If you want to see him vs top fighters then you always have his prime years to watch where he remained on top longer than any fighter in MMA has.

@Curtwag84

Sorry, it was 2.5 million guaranteed.

@Kinsalsa, I didn't know that is what people in Japan do, that is interesting. My point still stands though; they are simply ignoring the North American and European markets.

^This ******. He is, quite literally, BY FAR the best heavyweight of all time. Only thing arguable is whether or not he's the best fighter of all time, period.

It's hilarious how people are trying to justify this fight ans trying to put over Jaideep Singh. Seriously.

I wonder if the peoeple justifying this also justified Couture vs. Toney.

"Toney's such and such as boxer."

I know it's Fedor and he'll get a lot of defense because of what people think of him, but I still think it's funny people are trying to justify him fighting Singh and that anyone is trying to put over Singh by bringing up his kickboxing experience as if that's really going to make much of a differenc in a fight against Fedor.

Its,what the Japanese fans want to see. They has a long history of mismatches. I still think it's a waste, though.

I think the matchup is a joke but I can't blame Fedor for wanting to make 2.5 million, doubt the UFC came close to that

Sakakibara did make a play for Ricardo Arona. There were reports a few weeks back that he was looking to sign Arona to a 1-2 fight deal. Haven't heard anything else about it since. They're also looking to have Garry Tonon make his debut with the promotion.

Arona has not fought in 6 years so it would be interesting to see how he would do.

@Mike, I deserve that. I still believe Fedor has a ridiculous opinion on women, but my post about him sucking balls etc. was a terrible post. I shouldn't drink and post. I do agree he is the GOAT, and I apologize to anyone I offended. I'm a derp for that.  Who am I to say I disrespect this man when he has achieved more than I could in any life time. Mah bad.

If Fedor is apart of the HW Grand Prix, then I don't have a problem with this matchup, as he would have to win 2 more fights to win the whole thing.  I'd rather see a lottery drawing or even a based on experience and record a seeding bracket, but I am excited that these other organizations will be apart of this whole deal.  WSOF, RFA, Legacy, EFF, VTJ, Pancrase, Shooto, all need to join in too.
