I also think a healthy Tim Sylvia would be a tough fight for Randy to win.

Really, it would be fantastic to see a Randy vs Fedor fight (I'm not holdling my breath while the UFC has Randy in court) but after that, who can Affliction offer? Is it all going to be cross-promotion Super Fights for Fedor? Is he never going to be a title holder again? I loved his dominance over all of Pride. I guess those days are gone. Maybe he'll start fighting Dan Severn in YAMA. :P What a waste of great talent. The Affliction thing just to me seems like an american version of M-1 Global.

That would be nice & you know if Fedor signs w/the UFC (if it would even be thought of) he'll be the highest pd. fighter they got.

It just backfired though. Poor Monte. I think he's the one who's gonna' get screwed in this deal. And perhaps the ripple effect will not help some of his fighters in their negotiations with the UFC. Too bad. M1 had some potential. It was all a ploy to play hardball in negotiations with the UFC. It just backfired though. Poor Monte. I think he’s the one who’s gonna’ get screwed in this deal.

Furthermore, M-1 may not get its "signing bonus" money back, either. I wouldn't be at all surprised to read that Fedor (or more likely his management) claims that it was non-refundable and/or fully earned for reasons including his fight with the Korean. M-1 might have to lawyer up and seek recourse in Russia. Good luck with that.
