not to mention, Penn would kill him. Diaz’s normal strategy of getting hit in the face while looking for a submission wouldn’t work on a guy with better hands and WAY better BJJ.

Well I think this has gone too far for any kissing and making up. The only way this fight happens is if its in the UFC. They arent gonna share when in their minds they dont have to. This is either gonna have to play out in the courts and Randy will be old and gray or he is gonna have to go back to the UFC. Dont think there is gonna be any half way to this. Its sad but true.

I dont think Elite XC is very good at doing much of anything but there are a few good fights on this card. Do they deserve the coverage they are getting probably not but more MMA never hurt, much any way.

Hey guys, what do you think of this? With legal battles, Couture will be a great grandfather before UFC lets him go. So, I was thinking: UFC “release” Randy from his contract (leaving Big Nog as champion, not interim champion), but LET UFC retain the rights to Randy for his fight with Fedor, cross promote with affliction and let the two companies co-promote the fight. And split the revenue. This seems to let everybody off the hook: Randy and Fedor get to fight, Dana doesn’t have to worry about an unsigned fighter holding the UFC belt (even though he wouldn’t actually have it, everyone would see it that way), Affliction could co-promote and get their name out there even more. What do you guys think? Does this sound plausible? It’s the only thing I can think of where nobody seriously loses (except Randy, when Fedor whoops him).

I am not really sure they are going overboard on it. It is really the only show going on this weekend. They are just directing their resources to the most current MMA event. I am sure the next couple weeks will be full of UFC stuff.

No wonder Dana didnt sign him. “Ahead of the game” sure thats why M-1 never amounted to nothing, Pride got bought out, and Affliction will more than likely go under after their 3 shows. Tom Atencio said on InsideMMA that Fedor/Arlovski was not a done deal. Tom said that everybody wants Fedor/Couture. Its the money that fight will bring, not that everybody wants to see it. And Tom said that all the numbers for their show should come in by monday.
