It won't happen. No chance. So it's reeeeeeeeeeeeeal easy to make such an offer and then saying, "see, he doesn't really want to fight ME". It's like demanding that you come out to where I am to fight me and act like YOU are avoiding me if you don't. Saying "well I offered to meet him" is passive aggressive.
The UFC and Dana have been talking trash about Fedor for a long time.
Fedor is basically saying, "You can talk the talk, let's see if you can walk the walk."
Fedor is calling them out saying you can come fight me anytime you want you know where to find me.
If Dana really believes that Fedor is a crap fighter now he can put his money where his mouth is.
Also I wouldn't call any MMA fighter rich. Well off maybe, but compared to Mayweather it's peanuts.
Btw, that Crocop example is just one fighter who fought in both Pride and the UFC.
What about Norgeuira?
Vanderlei?
Rampage?
Lidell?
Dan Henderson?
Shogun?
Ninja?
Coleman?
and a list of others...
Crocop lost his fights because he was a one trick pony. Damn good at that trick but it stopped working for him.
Hero worship maybe? But what what about UFC worship? Not sure why people think the UFC is the end all be all of MMA organizations.
Cung Le doesn't fight for the UFC does that mean he's a fake?
