Fedor's manager said straight up that the UFC's offer was far more financially lucrative than any other.
People on this aprt of the forum are stupid to think Randy would give fedor a figh STUPID. He got knocked out by Chuck Liddel for **** SAKE
This post is awful on so many different levels. Yea, Randy is known to run from challenges. If you haven't noticed, Randy will fight anyone, and is actually one of the fighters who actually WANTS to fight the best. Also... this isn't boxing. Randy Couture doesn't pick anyone, and doesn't have the authority to NOT give someone a title shot. The UFC makes the fights, and there is no way in hell that they wouldn't have given Fedor a title shot. Why do you think they were offering him all of that money? A title fight with him vs Couture would have been HUGE.
Good point. :good And I agree, he should no longer be considered #1. His last fight was agaisnt a friggn middleweight. I'm not taking anything away from Fedor, but he has deprived the fans on this one.
Total joke. Even if it's not a shady deal, this should end the "FEDOR #1 P4P" and even the "FEDOR #1 MMA HW" garbage. If he isn't gonna fight anyone good, then he isn't the best. Simple as that. On top of that, ALOT of people aren't convinced he would beat Couture anyways, and when you add in that the VAST majority of Pride fighters entering UFC are getting flat-out handled....the Fedor gravy train may be grinding to a halt here atsch As far as I'm concerned, Couture #1 MMA HW! Until, possibly, someone dethrones him.
Thats a joke coture number 1, he is a great guy and fighter but he can't beat josh barnett never mind fedor.
Seriously stfu with this bandwagon of Couture #1HW. He's great because he beat Sylvia and Gonzaga AT HIS AGE, but putting him as the best HW in the world with his record... gtfo here.
