M-1 Global needs to recognize that the UFC will never let them co-sponsor an event and that they will not give Fedor a 1 fight deal, just to let him win the UFC Heavy-Weight Title and walk off into the sunset...

However, with Bodog Fight, the World Fighting Alliance, the International Fight League, Elite XC, and other promotions folding and going bankrupt there doesn't leave Fedor a huge window of opportunity to go fight formidable opponents now that Affliction crumbled along with its stacked Heavy-Weight division, whose fighters' contracts now belong to the UFC. Eventually Fedor will be in the UFC, maybe the UFC and M-1 can finally get over their differences and get something rolling...
