Are you trying to wrap your mind around Fedor’s decision to once again forgo a contract with the UFC? Well, it sounds like he had quite a few reasons to do so, like 2.5 million reasons to do so.<\/p>\n

According to a report from veteran and well trusted journalist Dave Meltzer<\/a>, the fighter is set to earn $2.5 million for his fight in Japan, which will take place on New Years Eve.<\/p>\n

Fedor announced the news at this past weekend’s Bellator ‘Dynamite’ event. He entered the cage and said that he would be signing<\/a> with former Pride FC boss\u00a0Nobuyuki Sakakibara, who is starting a new promotion in Japan. This first event will be somewhat cross promoted with Bellator and will air on Spike TV.<\/p>\n

The report also says that sources say the UFC were in fact in negotiations with Fedor and it seemed close getting finalized. Unfortunately that’s not what happened.<\/p>\n

Check it out!<\/p>\n

Japanese news sources have reported the show being held at the Saitama Super Arena, which makes sense. They\u2019ve also reported that Emelianenko will earn $2.5 million guaranteed for the show, which tells you why he didn\u2019t sign the UFC, since it\u2019s guaranteed and most likely he\u2019ll face a lesser opponent than he would in UFC. UFC had been negotiating with him and it did seem they were close. UFC sources said they were under the impression Emelianenko signed a two-fight deal with Sakakibara\u2019s group.<\/em>
\n It is believed the show is being financed by an oil-rich foreign investor who already has a stake in the MMA business. Whether he\u2019s agreed to invest for one show, or a regular promotion, is unknown.<\/em><\/p>\n
