Fedor Emelianenko has reportedly been offered a contract by the UFC which also would have been the richest in the company's history: $30M for just 6 fights. Andit does not end there:
- The UFC offered Fedor an immediate title shot
- Lesnar/Fedor would be the biggest PPV in MMA history (we assume), and the UFC offered M-1 Global a cut of the PPV on top of Fedor's purse.
- Fedor was free to wear as many M-1 logoed items as he wished.
- The UFC also relented on allowing Fedor to compete in combat sambo.Despite these almost absurd one-sided contract in favor of Fedor, the heavyweight champion turned it down thus preventing an inevitable collision with UFC champ Brock Lesnar.

Now, the offer in general was one of its kind. It's like offering Stephon Marbury a lifetime supply of t-shirt just to stop his insanity. The fact that Fedor still found a way to keep his senses even after realizing how huge the money he declined is a sign that that we may not see a Fedor-Brock brawl, perhaps becoming the greatest fight that never have been made in MMA history.
What does he want? A stipulation that an axe be made available exclusively for him inside the octagon?

How do you know what was in the contract? Also, it's Fedor's business to choose whether to fight or not.
