Fedor Emelianenko: UFC negotiation details.

Είναι κάποιοι άνθρωποι οι οποίοι δεν ορίζονται απο το περιβάλλον τους , αλλα το περιβάλλον τους οριζεται απο αυτούς. Ο λόγος για τον Ρώσο πρωταθλητή ΜΜΑ, Sambo, Judo και το demi-μονοπώλιο αμερικάνικο οργανισμό μικτών πολεμικών τεχνών (ΜΜΑ) Ultimate Fighting Championship. Όσο το UFC δεν έχει τον Fedor Emelianenko στο (κατα πολλούς αδύναμο) heavyweight roster του, θα είναι ένα ελλειπές πρωτάθλημα. Κάτι σα χωριάτικη χωρίς φέτα, κάτι σαν EVO χωρίς αεροτομή.


Πολλοί αναρωτιούνται γιατί ο Ρωσος superstar δεν υπογράφει στο UFC αλλά μοιράζει το χρόνο του στον ανταγωνιστή του UFC , το Affliction MMA, και σε διαπραγματέυσεις με το γιαπωνέζικο οργανισμό DREAM. Παράλληλα σαρώνει τα Παγκόσμια στο Sambo.


Να τι έχει να πεί ο ίδιος:


Why didn't Fedor just sign with the UFC? -


Fedor's interview:"I never met Dana White, never spoke to him on the phone, never exchanged e-mails. However, I did read a lot on the Internet about what he said in regard to me and Vadim. I also read e-mails that he sent to Vadim; all of his correspondence was very upsetting. The contract that we were presented with by the UFC was simply impossible, couldn't be signed, I couldn't leave. If I won, I had to fight eight times in two years. If I lost one fight, then the UFC had the right to rip up the contract. At the conclusion of the contract, if I am undefeated, then it automatically extends for an as yet unspecified period of time, though for the same compensation.Basically I can't leave undefeated. I can't give interviews, appear in films or advertising. I don't have the right to do anything without the UFC's agreement. I could do nothing without the OK from the UFC. I didn't have the right to compete in combat sambo competition. It's my national sport. It's the Russian sport, which in his time our president competed in, and I no longer have the right to do so. There were many such clauses; the contract was 18 pages in length. It was written in such a way that I had absolutely no rights while the UFC could at any moment, if something didn't suit them, tear up the agreement. We worked with lawyers who told us that it was patently impossible to sign such a document."
