Ironically, Fedor Emelianenko's legacy will largely be determined by the outcome of his promoter's bout with the UFC. The man who has destroyed opponents large and small, been slammed head-first into a ring and recovered instantaneously to humiliate his enemy, is now looking greedy at best, and a capricious prima donna at worst.
The best line in the Fedor Emelianenko-UFC kerfuffle? It belongs to the frequent jerk/currently reasonable Dana White: “How are they going to come in and help us co-promote? It’s basically them coming and saying, ‘We’ve got this guy and some people say he might be the best heavyweight in the world. So for that, we want half your business.’ Yeah, OK. That sh-t probably works in Russia. Not here.”
Well put, Dana.

I'll give Fedor credit. Perhaps he is less capricious prima donna, and more, uh, box of rocks-fighter monkey, who cannot manage himself out of a white belt's half guard, relying entirely, like so many fighters before him, on an unscrupulous and disloyal agent.
