Does Randy think that the Fedor´s story will happen also with him? No way... Nog is now a more experienced fighter and better than Randy, which makes us tink: Whom you rather lose to? To a Number 1 or to a number 2? Losing to a n.1 is less difficult to accept the loss than to a loss to n.2. Randy is more worried to make history at this stage of his career, and if this means to fight Fedor, we will see that Randy 43 years old will show off as a grandpa. A fight with ´´the last emperor`` or with ´´Minotauro`` will have the same outcome, and americans will see that the hall of fame with a poor record of 16-8 (after the fight with Fedor or Nogueira probabily will be 16-9)is all that only in USA. I put Randy in the same level as Coleman, Difference is that Coleman was in pride were he wasn´t so lucky and Randy in UFC is the top Fedor beat Nog twice, so?

Bur Fedor and Big Nog, those two are legendary. This fight doesn’t make sense to Nogueira because Nogueira has beaten guys that have beaten Couture (sarcasm)

Randy is great, I’d put Randy in the same level as the creator of GnP Mark Coleman. Bur Fedor and Big Nog, those two are legendary.

They could capitalise on an opening but Nog could, hes been doing it his whole career and is a warrior for that so the Sylvia and Herring should have beat him excuse is just BS. Who has Randy beaten at HW that is really worth mentioning? Sylvia probably the only one. This is the same guy thats lost to Barnett, who by the way Nog beat, hes lost to Ricco Rodriguez for Gods sake so why the hell does he even belong in the same arena as Fedor or Nog. Fedor will kill him, Nog is also a whole lot better. Use your common sense. Randy only wants to fight Fedor because he wants the cash and knows he will make big money with this fight outside the UFC. Its not about his legacy but his interest in money. Im sorry but Nog beat Herring and Sylvia fair and they couldnt finish him because he knew what was happening.

Whats even more funny is that Fedor will fight Sylvia first. If Fedor loses where does that leave Randy? Nog has beaten Fedor and so has Randy. IMO there is a lot more sense in Randy fighting Nog, an active fighter willing to fight anyone than Fedor whos fighting weak opponents. Im beginning to believe that Fedor will get beaten by Tim just because hes been inactive from tough competition for a long time. Sylvia is an awkward fighter and if he beats Fedor then Randys only option is to fight Nog. Might aswell fight him now. Randy wont fight Fedor until Feb 2009 the earliest IMO, and by then he will be that little bit slower and since his inactive will be worst. He has no chance and is making a stupid mistake.

I think anyway Randy tries to play the fight out, Nog will have an answer. Hes a more well rounded fighter than Randy and has the size advantage. Easy win for Nog Nogueira is also an accomplished boxer so dirty boxing really is his game too. I think anyway Randy tries to play the fight out, Nog will have an answer.

And. It does "make sense" for Randy to fight Nog because the fans want to see him fight Nog, so that alone has it as a fight thats "makes sense"!!

When I say doesn't mean a thing I am talking about as far as people are concerned, Randy would be remembered a lot more for beating Fedor then he ever would beating Nog.
