At this point, Dana doesn't need Fedor as much as Fedor needs Dana.
I would bet that the vast majoirty of people that the UFC makes money off of don't know who Fedor is and couldn't give 2 cents about him.
"Cro who? "
"All I know is that that Jackson guy beat Liddell in Japan"
"Who's this Nog guy frokm Brazil?"
The majority of UFC fans don't know anything previous to UFC 40 and know nothing about MMA other than "they can kick a boxers ass"
The UFC would be stupid to pay Fedor's 1 mil per fight. If they are going to give a mil to anyone that doesn't deserve it, give it to Tito. At least they can make up for it that way.
