Hunh. Funny that. Going to fight in Japan, where MMA fights have been known to be scripted and MMA promotional organizations have been consistently run by well-tattooed Japanese men missing joints of their fingers.
Fedor's business dealings are dirty as hell. He's one of the all time greats, no doubt, but he's in bed with bad people/is one of those bad people outside the cage. Don't look at his choices from the lens of an athlete or a sportsman. Look at his actions as that of a shady businessman. The UFC was right not to let him promote M1 on their backs. It's a joke of a show, a joke of a promotion, and Fedor is back in to try and make some money when he could have fought for the UFC without that moron Vadim's management and be properly retired now.
Or, you know, he still would have had to fight after paying his brother's (failed) legal defense against rape charges.
