Here’s the score:
Fedor is probably the best heavy weight the world has seen. He hasn’t lost! You’d expect him to beat Randy baecause he’s not shown fault, and although Randy has only shown little fault, we have seen it.

The thing is Randy has won against the odds throughout his career. Also the pride fighters coming over from Japan (especially the ones you’d think would absolutely clean up) have struggled. I think unless you’ve been in both situations at that level you’re not qualified to suggest why they’ve struggled. Specualtion from a twice a week jiu-jitsu guy just doesn’t mean alot.

BUT they have struggled, all of them: CroCop, Herring, Wandi, Shogun etc.

I think Randy has got a fkn good chance.

Also, who gives a fck how much they’re getting paid. good luck to them if they can demand that amount. I’m more interested in getting a good payrise myself than stopping someone else getting one. As long as we see the fights we want to see then I don’t thinkit’s out business how much they get.

You step in there, see if you want to do it again for less than the max you can negotiate.

I guess this is all a pointless discussion, as i have just read on yahoo sport that fedor has signed with M-1, and Randy Couture has retired again.Kind of dissapointing, i guess the will have a fight for the vacant title early next year, or make the upcoming Big Nog vs Congo a fight for the title.

[quote comment=”170899″][quote post=”3453″]Both have chances to win. Randy’s age is a disadvatage. Fedor’s cuts and lack of cage experience is a minus. But the fight is truly the most anticipated. Let both make as much as possible of $$$. This is a market capitalism. [/quote]
I agree with this, lets not foget ufc now makes more on the door than they’re disclosed payout. not to mention the 10’s of millons they make on ppv. It’s not that feodr would be making to much at 1.5 mil a fight, it’s more that the other fighters are making to little.(i understand that the disclosed amount is not all the fighters get, that there are bonuses, endorsements, and main carders get ppv%).[/quote]

The best make the most. I don’t want to make everybody equally poor.

Fedor’s biggest problem will be the cage grind. Hands down.

I bet Randy’s training for this fight by learning how to submit off his back, its his only chance.

And it still wont be enough

Sorry , Tim Sylvia, Chuck Liddle and Vitor Belfort all hit harder than Fedor and that is why they have way more KO victories than Fedor. Randy will maul Fedor in Wrestling ,take him down and GnP. Fedor knows this too , that is why he doesn’t want to fight him.[/quote]

You must be high or something, none of those guys have the striking power that Fedor has in the top guard position…..not even close.[/quote]
What in the hell makes you think Fedor could get Randy on his back? He could barely get LINDLAND on his, if it werent for the fact he grabbed teh ropes, Linland would have been on top. Randy has the grappling all day long, and with his new found head movement, Fedor ain’t gonna touch him on the feet either. Randy ALL DAY!!!

Statistics say it all man, if Fedor had the supernatural hands you make him out to have, why dosnt everybody he hit go down right away? OR at LEAST more than Chuck, Vitor, Wandi, or Sylvia.[/quote]

Because he has fought better quality opponents then any of those fighters have, dumbass.

Fedor all the way!!

[quote comment=”162701″]Fedor will beat Randy. No disrespect to Couture. Randy is a tremendous fighter in every way, shape, or form, but MMA has never seen a fighter like Fedor.

Fedor Facts:
1. High Altitude Training yields incomparable cardio
2. Siberian Prison weight training regiment means that swinging sledge hammers and moving large objects is par for the course.
3. Fedor has a daughter and YES that’s the dela with the stupid ass ice cream cone picture
4. Fedor has lost “1″ fight, yep not 2, not 3, not 4, but “1″ fight due to stoppage from a cut resulting from an illegal elbow that was NOT inadvertantly missed.
5. TK, the man who blemished Fedor’s record, was dis - fucking - mantled as soon as a rematch could be arranged.
6. Fedor has fought every type of fighter and has never back down.[/quote]

A few other points to add

7: Fedor: superior standup (not takin anythin away from Randy’s though)

8: Fedor is stronger, faster, more powerful, and has a greater arsenal of takedowns (again, taking nothing away from the natural).

9: Randy likes battles of attrition where he sticks to an opponents weak spots, and wears them down, round by round.
Bad news for Randy, Fedor excells at these types of fights (Cro Cop, Nog), and he can finish em quick too (Zulu, Big Daddy). In other words, Fedor is impossible to predict as a fighter.

10: Fedor is always working on his weaknesses, and always improving as a fighter, that is what makes him the best fighter in the world, and it is why he will always be the best fighter in the world.
