Default Fedor's letter to Dana White

Fedor Emelianenko Pens Open Letter to Dana White -- MMAjunkie.com

Quote:
Numerous times have I read mister White’s statements on Internet concerning myself. In my opinion, allowing yourself to say those things is not a sign of a gentleman or a grown man at all! If he candidly wants to prove himself right then let my fight with Randy happen or let me face the reigning UFC champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. In the future I wouldn’t want to hear those statements in my address ever again and I won’t tolerate that.

My last fight in Japan proved that I’m ready to fight anybody with any height advantage, skillset or experience. I have fought and still wish to fight the best athletes. The Randy fight is my goal number one right now, he’s a great fighter and this is a very unfortunate situation when too strict and one-sided UFC contracts don’t let this fight happen.

The whole world is eager to see me fight your champions, people don’t want to listen to your press-conferences. I’m signed with M-1 Global and this promotion is ready to organize such fights under our banner or in co-promoted events.
I doubt this will sway Dana at all, but here's hoping.

Yeah really, i dont want to hear anymore of Dana's bullshit about how Fedor "isnt even top ten". He knows just as well as everyone else knows that he fucked up by not signing Fedor and the best fighter in the world. Maybe he should just swallow his pride and except that whats happened happened. But im very glad Fedor made these statements, i gurantee that Dana will just ignore it and act like he never heard them.

Here is a link to some audio of Dana talking about Couture, and in one of the clips he mentions about "Fedor sucks" blah blah blah. Not sure where to find any of the other stuff.

anyone who has heard enough dana white comments knows the guy is a little sleazy and discredits any non-UFC fighter to a ridiculous degree. He was downtalking Wand when Pride wouldn't send fighters over to the UFC then when Wand was signing his UFC contract Dana acted like it was a life-long goal to sign him.
He'll do the same if they ever Sign Fedor. To anyone who follows the sport beyond the UFC, it's blatantly obvious and weak.

Still he's done some great things and ppl still complain about him in forums etc.

I don't think anyone can disagree that Dana has done great things for the UFC and the sport of mixed martial arts in general. It's just some time he drops comments and statements in which he is completly wrong; in which he affends many people while doing so. He also holds alot of double standards in my books, there have been a few instances where he's said something then done another, thats just my opinion.

I TOTALLY agree, he doesn't have the finesse to be the face of the UFC IMO, he needs someone else to be the spokesperson as he says some really ignorant and inflamatory things about some fighters. It just makes him look classless IMO.

dana has helped build the ufc into the success it is now, hes not fuckin stupid, hes slaggin off fedore so he gets a reaction, backing him in a corner so the only thing fedor can do is accept the harsh words and loose respect, or come out and do exactly what dana wants, that letter proves its already starting to work, give it time and dana will most definitly get the fight sorted.
