I think Fedor is not the Fedor he was in PRIDE like so many of that generation of fighters. Fedor is the best and has beaten the best, but he is not unbeatable. Vadim (Finkelstein) recently made comments about me being a "steroid bully," and thato39;s why they do not want to fight me? But then fighters who got caught three times with steroids in the past they want to fight.
Or when Vadim does a co-promotion on New Years Eve, the unranked Hong Man Choi can be picked as an opponent for Fedor, who is 20 cm taller than me and 40 kg heavier. Rogers showed some strength, but gassed in my eyes and gave Fedor room to come back because Fedor could smell that!
I wanted to fight Fedor but my management knows the management of Fedor very well. There is too much risk business-wise to make that fight happen for M-1. If they lose they cannot play their co-promotion card anymore and M-1 will be over. Scott (Coker) will terminate all bindings with M-1 and continue with me and Golden Glory as he knows we are reasonable and we have been around for 10+ years. I think he got gray hairs from them already (laughs).
Of course they are ducking me. I am a risk to their whole organization. Vadim is embarrassing all the Russians. First not fighting Couture and now ducking me. At the same time he calls me a steroid bully in the Russian press. My manager will reply to that soon. But he still wants to fight fighters who have been caught three times using steroids! I will even wonder if Fedor is fighting in June. It always is a surprise party dealing with M-1.
Fedor, you are a great fighter and like many other great Russian fighters in history you do your talking in a ring or cage. Leave this M-1 circus and start fighting the best. Ito39;s okay to lose sometimes but hiding makes you look like a coward, which Fedor is not, Vadim is!

Desde luego que me están evitando, soy un riesgo para toda su organización. Vadim está avergonzando a todos los rusos. Primero no queriendo luchar con Couture y ahora lo mismo conmigo. Y encima me insultan en la prensa rusa. Mi manager responderá a esos insultos pronto... ¡Pero es que luego quieren luchar con un tio al que han pillado tres veces usando esteroides! Y ni sabemos si Fedor luchará o no en junio (con Werdum). Siempre hay sorpresas cuando se negocia con M-1.
Fedor, eres un gran luchador y como muchos otros grandes peleadores rusos en la historia te dedicas a hablar en el ring. Deja ya el circo de M-1, y empieza a luchar con los mejores. No pasa nada por perder algún combate, pero esconderse te hace parecer un cobarde, y Fedor no es eso. Vadim lo es."
