Joe Rogan On UFC And Russian Gang Controversy #joerogan #russian #ufc

“Fedor [Emelianenko] was controlled by some Russian people who were very rough men, gangster-type characters. They had negotiations with the UFC, but they had unreasonable demands. They wanted part of the promotion, they wanted to own a piece of everything. Negotiations were very intense and very confrontational. They got so bad that Dana White had to increase his security. These were dangerous people.”

The phrase "Russian gang and Fedor" likely refers to the famous Russian MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko and the stereotype of Russian gangs. While there's no direct evidence linking Emelianenko to organized crime, his name has sometimes been associated with criminal elements due to his Russian background and the prevalence of organized crime in Russia.

The controversy surrounding Russian gang ties and the UFC stems from the UFC's continued presence in regions with strong connections to Russian organized crime, particularly those associated with Ramzan Kadyrov. Some critics have pointed out the UFC's ties with fighters who have been seen attending events with Kadyrov and his "criminal gang," raising concerns about the organization's oversight of the sport. The UFC denies any contractual or commercial dealings with Kadyrov or sanctioned entities, emphasizing that their contracts are directly with athletes.
