![This is M-1 Global, This is the M-1 Challenge:
"Dana says there's no way he's going to do a co-promotion. How bad does Dana want to prove his fighters are the top in the world? If they want to say they got the top fighter in the world. Prove it. We're willing to prove it. Fedor's willing to fight anybody anytime. And he is, he's willing to fight anybody [but] on equal terms. We're not asking for more. We won't settle for less -- we're not asking for more though. Fedor will fight anybody on equal terms. So if Dana believes he has the best fighters in the world then shut up or put up. It was the same thing when I was at PRIDE. We got the best fighters in the world. Let the fighters fight. This is what it's about: the fighters fighting. Dana's made enough money, now let the fighters fight. If the fans want to see Fedor and Brock Lesnar, then let them fight. Whatever it takes, let them fight."
"Obviously they want to make the most money, but if they truly care what the fans want to see, then they'll do pretty much whatever it takes to make that happen cause we're asking for just equal treatment. That's it. That's all that is."

![When will you be back to the rings for the event?
The next [M-1 Challenge] is on Korea, on July 4, in case I don’t receive any invite from a bigger organization. I’m negotiating with a bigger event and I’m waiting, if it happens I’ll tell you guys from TATAME.
-- "The Arm Collector" Giva Santana, who just added one of Min Suk Heo's limbs to his trophy case at M-1 Challenge in Japan. Santana went 2-1 with ShoXC, the lone blemish on his 12-1 record coming in a razor thin decision against Jaime Jara. Eleven of his twelve wins are submissions by way of first round armbars. Santana would be an interesting addition to any major promotion's middleweight roster.](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/50404/default_small.jpg)
