A couple of things. It's not the Mafia, it's the Yakusa that caused the TV problems.
Fedor is still fighting for PRIDE, and isn't leaving. Fedor has a clause in his contract that he can fight for any MMA org that is held in Russia. Every night I went to American Top Team to train last week, I saw Jeff Monson working out. This should be a great fight.
I wouldn't count PRIDE out of the picture yet.
