"We were renegotiating. I think we're pretty much at the end of that road," said Kogan. "After the CBS show, we thought that the terms needed a little bit tweaking -- nothing major, just a little bit of tweaking. So, we had a round of negotiations with Strikeforce. Everything went positively. We're pretty much at the end."

"Obviously, we are much more than the management company for Fedor," said Kogan. "For us, it's really important that the M-1 Global brand is acknowledged on these co-promotion events. As much as the partners made a lot of effort to acknowledge the co-branding, the media basically picked up on the fact that it was Strikeforce and kind of forgot about everything else, which wasn't the most ideal for us."

But wait, there's more! Gegard Mousasi jumping ship on M-1 is totally cool as he was only represented by a member of M-1 not the actual promotion firm ghost entity. Once again Kogan wants everyone to know that there is no internal power struggle, that everything is perfectly normal and please ignore the cracks in the walls and the skeletons hanging from the ceiling.

What about the rumor that Jerry Millen was shown the door? Well, Jerry is still around though may have been demoted:

"Everyone else is still onboard -- nothing else, in that respect, has changed," said Kogan. "We’re working less with Jerry (Millen) then we were. Gerry is producing the Challenge shows for us, but not the Selection events."

Perhaps M-1 heard some of those things that Bas Rutten and just about everyone else said about "Jerry" Millen...
