that leaves the UFC with a worthless heavyweight division, so they have to get Fedor for good. I think they'll sign him by the end of next year. Beyond the fight its a move they need to make to kill off all their competition, so there is a lot of added value for that.

- what kind of money does Fedor make fighting there? As much as the UFC would pay him? -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 09:32 2
  - Supposidly he got about $2 mil in total for his last Affliction fight, but he also retains the rights to the footage of his fights - Stewie Jul 19, 09:35
  - $300,000 or so, but around 1.5 million, supposedly, with bonuses etc. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:35
