Но там есть и такой :
Here is the few facts about this case that are not known to public:
- Before signing Slava, Bellator actually officially requested M-1 Global to send them the contract, if such exists, M-1 Global never replied and never sent anything to Bellator.
- M-1 claims that Slava owns them fight(s) based on the fact that he was their champion (LHW) and therefore automatically has obligations to fight for them. However, Slava won their Selection tournament. But the irony is, those tournaments DON’T EXIST anymore, therefore, how are you supposed to defend your belt? Their current LHW champion is Vinny (who also left), not Slava.
- Slava claims that he has no existing contract with M-1.
- The same conflict happened when Slava was competing for Sambo-70 (another up and coming MMA org in Russia), M-1 wanted to sue Slava and not letting him compete, but the fact is, Slava’s management proved that you can’t stop a fighter from fighting because that’s how he is making his living. M-1 is not paying enough (and there are not enough fights), therefore, you can’t prevent Slava from making his living by fighting for other organizations. After this argument, M-1 realized they have no grounds and dropped all charges. However, when Slava went to Bellator, they decided to go all the way.
- Slava “lost” this case in Holland’s court because he simply didn’t give a s%^t. He wasn’t there, he had no layers representing him (it cost too much), and most importantly, this decision has NO IMPACT in US. Of course M-1 won, since defendant didn’t even show up to court. M-1 will have to file a new case in U.S court and have very little ground winning the case, as they DIDN’T present Slava’s contract when it was requested. They may not even have one to begin with.
- Most importantly, this “case” turned TINS OF FANS in Russia against M-1. People hate that people like Vadim and Sergey Matvienko (who is a billionaire) are going against a “little” guy, such as Slava. MMA Fans in Russia want to see their countrymen succeed on the world’s MMA arena and cases like this will onkly backfire at M-1. Exceptionally stupid on their part. The sad part is, Vadim didn’t even want this to happened, its stupid fucking Evegni “I am new Dana White” Kogan who started this shit.
Чувак явно в теме и приводит интересные факты, кстати, может это его менеджер...
