[quote comment="254839"]lol…

fedor is unstopable . and as good as randy is fedor is not going down to a 45 year old RC. He trains constantly and even though age hasnt effected RC in the past i think it would against fedor.[/quote]

Agree…Randy would LOSE to Fedor but I do believe it would go the distance…Fedor could get a submission though…Randy would take fedor down more often, but Fedor is SLICK…I could see Fedor possible getting an armbar, but most likely, fedor wins a close decision…

[quote comment="235684"]I always felt that Arlovski could beat Couture, great combination of power, speed, and agility. Too bad his last two fights weren’t the most exciting for UFC management.[/quote]

You know NOTHING about MMA. Couture ALWAYS beats guys who can’t stop a takedown. Arlovski would be on his back in 1 minute and Randy would pound him out. Hey, I like Arlovski, but Randy would be a BAD matchup..

[quote comment="236166"]fedor is very overrated he would get delt a beating in the ufc by many guys. Remember the matt lindland fight. and the mark hunt fight. Dont get me wrong Fedor is a tough dude but Randy Would Beat Him.[/quote]

He WON both of those fights.

Also for anyone who talks trash on Randy they dont know him. He is a great person of integrity and character. Randy knows he only has one or two fights left and he has a dream fight with fedor. Why talk trash on a nice guy who is following a dream. He doesnt want t fight some no names he knows who he wants to fight and we should respect him for it. All this crap about randy bailing on the ufc because of money is crap. He just wants to fight fedor and see if hes the best. He even called Fedor the best. But if you dont actually fight i wouldnt expect u to understand.

just so u know.. Randy has competed in world reknown grappling matches. Abu Dhabi being one of them. Do u really think fedor can take him down? Silver medalist greco roman wrestler vs sambo russian champion… When this fight does happen i see it being different than we all think. Standup predominantly if its in a ring. Split decision by Randy.

AA Needs to grow his nuts back and start pounding people. He used to be THE MOST entertaining, brutal/careless striker in MMA and now, since the THROAT PUNCH from Andre the Giant, he’s a scared little Belarussian.

[quote comment="236140"]Randy will beat Fedor, if Fedor even accepts the fight that little chump. The day that fight is announced in another organization is the day Dana expiriances the biggest regret he has ever felt.[/quote]

Do you not understand that this is not a personal fight for Randy? Randy coming out of retirement was to help is old friend Dana to get rid of Tim (who is the most boring fighter ever) and bring back the HW division and make the most money he could by having the two top HW’s fight. Randy did this as a favour and now he is pissed that Dana asked him to come out of retirement only to find out that he will never fight Fedor. NEVER. Fedor has too much pride and Randy doesn’t care anymore. If it isn’t in UFC … it will never be.

I’m delighted my post received so much attention!

Randy did agree to the contract and he is still abiding by it.

ANALOGY 2:
You feel you’re getting ripped off at work. Would you be a pussy if you renegotiated your wage/salary several years (or months) after you joined the company?

To say that it wouldn’t make a difference if they fought in a cage or a ring is to underestimate the value of homefield advantage. When is the last time Couture fought in a ring? When is the last time Fedor fought in a cage? Both of them are smart enough fighters to have used their enviornments to their advantage. To take one of their environments away is practically like taking away a lot of their experience (not to mention the possible rules differences). It would be like a crocodile fighting a lion. In the water, the croc would have the advantage. On the land, the lion would have the advantage. Each of them would still have a chance, but depending where and with what rules would change the game completely. This is, afterall, an MMA competition, not a street fight. When Nadal and Federer play tennis, most of the time the winner is determined by what surface they play on… clay or grass.
