LOL That stuff is golden, better than the written crap of WWF.

Fedor's camp is making him look so bad though, they need to shut the hell up. And you know someone very high up that probably works in the shadows told Fedor that "You WILL keep fighting".

That responce by Silva's people was perfect.

Fixed that for you.

I heard from some people that even in the Soviet era, some trainers were really superstitious and feared stuff like hypnosis and mind control. Voronov is from that period or he is just trolling. Fedor needs to train with Werdum, Dutch kickboxers and some Russion Wrestlers if he wants to become better. Baby Fedor is not enough.

Not sure why people think Fedor is forced to fight. If he wants to quit, he can. Who is going to stop him. But even Big Foot begged Fedor not to quit, so maybe he changed his mind.

Hmm,funny they had no problem with buying up exclusive games when they controlled most of the market during the PS1/PS2 era.

They've been pretty good with the IP they've handled so far -- in terms of being good to the original spirit.  Probably the best studio to handle something like this.
