Schilt is a huge star in Japan (Asia) and Netherlands (Europe) and they can make a huge bucks organizing a fight there (for a "huge show", mentioned in the article). They need American fighter for an American market. Someone big, muscular and scary. And to be honest, Bob Sapp is one of the best alternatives out there...<BR/><BR/>Fedor has to fight "not the best fighters" to put some momentum in M-1 Global, so the Couture fight would become possible and successful.Mikko Vedru - Editor-in-Chief of Russian MMAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17110984669536696184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087635509308942336.post-17225115105744763282008-01-22T14:17:00.000+02:002008-01-22T14:17:00.000+02:002008-01-22T14:17:00.000+02:00I think that actually all sounds pretty cool. I'd rather Fedor didn't fight Schilt though. Even though it's been a long time since he first fought him, i'd prefer to see Fedor taking on new faces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
