Not sure when this was filmed, but this piece with him and Randy Couture is a real eye opener. Not just about Fedor, but also about the UFC and Zuffa's ways of trying to force it's our way or the highway monopoly.

thats old news (not him speaking english lol) Zuffa and the UFC have always been very strict with their fighters, but then its understandable really they spend a fortune creating a brand and promoting fighters, if those fighters then lose outside the UFC it costs the organisation moneyQuote:

And Randy was even willing to donate the money to charity. Wow.
I hope Fedor wins the STRIKEFORCE Grand Prix tournament - and then beats Overeem (possibly for a second time) to take the STRIKEFORCE heavyweight title - and then openly challenges the current UFC heavyweight champion (whoever that might be by then)....in public....to a combined STRIKEFORCE/ZUFFA promotion.
I hate monopoloies and giant out of control corporations - sooner or later they ruin just about everything they touch.
