Randy will fight Fedor.

UFC doesn’t have a leg to stand on to stop this. They are going after a trivial lawsuit that will get them nothing. … Dana is a jerk and his empire is crumbling.

I AM A BIG MMA FAN. ALL THE FIGHTERS ARE GREAT, BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN TWO WARRIORS LIKE RANDY AN FEDOR. I THINK THIS FIGHT SHOULD GO ON. RANDY IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FIGHTERS THAT HAS EVER STEPPED INTO A RING OR OCTAGON. RANDY SAID HE WANTED TO FIGHT THE BEST , BUT BY STAYING IN THE UFC HE IS NOT GOING TO DO THAT. DANA BRING HIM FEDOR. AND FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE MORE INTERRESTED IN THE SILIVA VS NOGUIERIA FIGHT COME ON IT MIGHT BE A GOOD FIGHT BUT BASED ON THERE LAST PREFORMENCE I DON’T THINK SO.

The truth is and everyone knows the dana white is simply a big DICK. Thats the reason if they dont fight now. Come on randy is not going to fight the winner of ufc81 he would reck them both the only thing that could happen is if randy makes a deal with dana to be out of the contract if he fights once more and dana would probilly not agree to that ethier because his job is to not make the fight happen now because like i said dana white is a big dick.

[quote comment="274132"]I honestly believe in my heart and soul Randy has Fedor’s number. I have always had this assumption that Fedor just towers over most fighters physically. Just a mamouth of a man. After watching this; Randy knows what he is “giving up” so to speak.(lawsuit w/ ufc, etc.) He is a man that knows what he wants. Its almost as if he is sacrificing himself so the fight fans can know…NOT THINK, but KNOW, who the best fighter in the world is. This is what would be said if Randy is to lose… but he won’t. Only a man of his character would leave the comfortable situation he had, and cause a rukuss just to be able to fight one man.
If Randy stayed in the UFC (or stays), how easy would it be to point the finger at Fedor for not signing w/ UFC?, pretty easy in my opinion. If you always brag about having the best fighters in the world, you can easily say Fedor was “scared”. Right? Randy could easily stay in the comfortable arms of the UFC – like so many other fighters who were offered more money elsewhere like; Matt Hughes, etc…
My point is…. Randy isn’t taking the easy road. He never has. He never will. He is a man w/ a vision. He will be MMA’s hero for ALL-TIME! No matter what the outcome of this situation. Win, lose, or draw… he is simply “The Natural”.[/quote]

Fedor has fought far stronger men than Couture or anyone Randy has fought, as well as just larger opponents in general, and did fine. Your remark about him towering over his opponents shows you haven’t seen him fight the likes of Semmy Schilt, among several others. He has fought better grapplers than Couture has, and far better strikers. Couture will bring nothing surprising to this fight for Fedor, who is at least as skilled in the ground fight, and definitely more proficient with his strikes. Couture was put down by Chuck “the windmill” Liddell for god’s sake, Fedor was not put down by ANYONE, and many of his opponents are of far superior striking ability than Chuck.

Also, yeah, Randy is great, but it’s not like Fedor ISN’T also a class act, full of respect, humble, ect. He’s equally deserving of of being called mma’s greatest of all time in that regard also.

[quote comment="275634"][quote comment="275296"]The Ripple Effects of Gonzaga’s Loss (Long)
In the end Couture may ride the wave of the UFC branding machine to a very lucrative pay day in a fight against Fedor. The UFC pumped up that Captain America image, and now Captain America by all accounts looks like he’s slated to do battle with the Russian destroyer. But I have the feeling this is going to be an incredibly brutal fight for Couture, the likes of which he probably hasn’t seen for years, if ever. Of course, at his age, it’s a story book fight to perhaps cap his career, and I can understand why he perhaps does not want to fight Nog or anyone else between now and when he squares off against Fedor. The problem is, however, without a benchmark fight against a Nog, there is no way to predict how he will fare in that fight. Personally, I think Fedor soundly beats Couture. I have to be honest, though — I can’t wait to see if Couture will prove me wrong again.[/quote]

OVERALL, a very interesting analysis, however Gonzaga just proves to not do well in the clinch whether it’s Couture’s dirty boxing and takedowns or Werdums muay thai knees. If Couture fought Werdum, I don’t believe his knees would get to Couture. Couture would whip Werdum.

Couture use to train with Tim Silvia, and always was able to take him down at will with those doubles and double trips… Couture just added a head bob and weave while standing and great overhand right…. “he could still whip Silvia”

Fedor vs Couture?….. ahhh’ now that’s a just let’s wait n see.[/quote]
Yeah is it just me or did Gonzaga look fat and out of shape. He was heavier and it certainly wasn’t muscle mass. Maybe Werdum beat a couch potato gonzaga and not the gonzaga that just kicked Cro Cop into the next year.

[quote comment="274339"][quote comment="274282"]The UFC WILL NOT I repeat WILL NOT EVER allow this fight to happen, they have Couture by the NUTS on allegations of breach of contract, and they have the major upper hand in the lawsuit, Couture thinks he could just get away with resigning and not honoring his contract, BIG MISTAKE, the court of law will hammer him so will the appointed judge, he has everything to loose and nothing to gain.[/quote]
Let me ask you, are you yourself or in any way shape or form affiliated or associated with any type of law enforcement? I just want to know how you are so sure. If you have an inside scoop then fine. I’ll listen. But if thats your opinion than just say it. Don’t act like you are a paralegal when you are a blue collar worker dude. Again, if you know something I don’t, let me know. Otherwise, I’ll keep my hopes up…. rather than having none![/quote]
