ofc, both M1 and fedor must be quite happy this is the way the rumors are panning out. this way, fedor can be a greedy bastard, blame it all on vadim AND still keep his fanboys happy thinking that fedor has nothing to do with these outlandish demands.
Dana White has a history of being a greedy bastard. If Fedor were a greedy bastard and that offer were legit then he obviously would bolt M-1 and take the deal.
There are other issues, such as the champions clause leaving no flexibility for Fedor (he'd have to fight exclusively in the UFC until he loses or retires, not the ideal situation for a guy who has 0 real losses.) And if the 6 fights aren't guaranteed, the UFC is also leaving themselves an out in case Fedor loses quickly.
UFC wants to completely own the market. M-1 wants money. It only makes sense that Fedor's needs/wants have been secondary in this deal getting done
