It's worth considering that Fedor was making unrealistic demands, and as much as the UFC wanted to sign him, they couldn't bend over that far.
Yeah man, you're absolutely right. Nobody knows what actually went down in their meetings, and it very well could have been something nearly as ridiculous as calling it the Fedor Fighting Championship!
