Those seem to be the REAL sticking points. IMO Fedor will fight Barnett in HEROES or something like that.
Yeah, I see what you are saying but in the end I bet it wont have anything to do w/ sambo, money, or any other benefits. Fedor will sign w/ the UFC b/c to be as good as he is you have to be a fierce competitor and the mere fact that most of the best fighters in the world are in the UFC will be enough. The competitor in him will ultimately make him sign w/ the UFC IMO.
