Let’s pretend for a moment that the sky falls and the UFC signs Fedor. Booking Fedor vs. Lesnar immediately is a no-brainer, right? Well, not if there’s already an agreement in place that says Randy Couture gets to fight Fedor first, which he alludes to in this interview.
“Not only do I think I deserve a shot at him, it kind of part of the agreement in settling our differences in coming back to the UFC, is they were going to be dilligent about trying to find a way to make that fight happen.”
For Randy’s sake, I hope he got that in writing because I’m pretty sure Fedor vs. Randy isn’t the fight the UFC wants to promote at the moment. Unfortunately for Couture, when he lost to Lesnar, pretty much every fan lost their burning desire to see if “Captain America” could dethrone “The Last Emperor.” I wouldn’t mind seeing it, but not before Fedor fights Lesnar.

In this world of imagination, Randy should get him first. That’s fair, and I (like many) still think Randy is better than Brock. I’d do just about anything to get Fedor in for a three fight contract. I’d even vote for Obama in 2012. Too bad neither thing is likely to ever happen…
*to NEVER happen, sorry.
I hope randy get fedor, if not just to intoduce the octagon to him. than he could take on brock!!
Fedor will not sign with the UFC unless he can have a open fighting contract…he will never sign overwise.
I can say that a million times…
…yes that is true an open contract & lots n’ lots of money … it seems this is what Dana will be forced to do. It’s clear that Dana/Fertitta are in talks with Fedor … I think will happen & if Couture gets throgh NOG Joe & White will do Fedor vs. Randy. It will also depend if AFFLICTION can afford to continue after trilogy.
I really don’t care to see Fedor destroy Randy Couture. It is not a competitive fight anywhere for Captain Journeyman. Doubtfull he gets out of the first round, unless Fedor carries him for “practice” as he did Mark Coleman.
I can understand Randy wanting a big last payday, but he would be badly outclassed everywhere.
