It's true, Fedor has signed a UFC contract. He will be making 1.8 million per fight and is locked in for 4 fights at this point. He is being allowed to compete in sambo competitions, but the Russian co-promotion with UFC is not happening. Fedor's management was upset about that, but Fedor himself insisted on the contract anyway because he wanted to fight where they had the biggest concentration of the best of MMA HW's.

I am not even going to bother posting this to Sherdog, I was flamed way too much last time I broke news and didn't appreciate it. I'm sure this will make it there soon though. The official announcement will be made right before the main event of UFC 75.
In case you didn't know, BobSappFan broke the news that the UFC purchased Pride, which Dana White denied, but a few weeks later the announcement was made.

Oh please be true. I know it's official once I see him in the octagon and Dana announcing it.

Oh, hell yes. This is the same guy that announced the signing of PRIDE FC and a lot more news.

I think Fedors a little overrated and will lose in the UFC but im hopeing he will prove me wrong.

I can't see the UFC paying him that much considering what all the other big names are making.

Wow, that is a lot of money. I don't believe it.
Would be nice though... fedor over rated? No way man. He's undefeated.

Fedor is worth every penny. They've made millionares out of Tito and Chuck; why not the greatest fighter in the world? If true the UFC will make their money back. Oh god please be true! I'm not gonna get too excited though until its officialy announced.

It's not really farfetched to say Fedor could be overrated. Look who his best wins are; Heath Herring, Cro Cop, Hunt, and Big Nog.

Herring got dominated by a no namer, CC got dominated and floored by a virtual no namer at the time, and Big Nog got floored, but was a fluke kick IMO and still dominated the fight.

I don't think Fedor's overrated, but I believe he could lose fairly easily in the UFC, especially to a guy like Couture.

What I think (is) that the UFC’s attitude towards the fighters is not the correct one and I don’t like their policy, which appears to be (a) really forced one, because the offer which we got was one kind, then on the Internet they published (an) absolutely different offer. The offer that we got from them was really miserable.” Fedor
