the fight would INSTANTLY have a green light under M1 rules. But dana white wants the fight to take place inside the octagon. Couture doesn't gives a ****...he said it already and he's willing to go to russia/japan for this ****ing fight..inside a ring , under their rules...but if he does...someone's gonna sue him.. I think it's funny that dana is still trying his best to have this guy fight couture in his organisation when we know that he also once said that fedor was a joke and not even top 5.. what a *****...
He only sees huge profit. Of course he's gona want that fight. He's like a bratty little child, he didn't get what he wanted and started stomping his feet. Now he understands he overreacted and it wasn't the way to get the fight...
Fedor is the biggest name of what was the Pride organization. Dana White has to make this fight happen in the Octagon in order to maintain the UFC brand monopoly on MMA. Couture/Fedor will happen. Unfortunately, it seems to be later rather than sooner in terms of when we might see this mythical match up. That's a shame for Randy Couture who really seems to be in an amazing secondary prime phase of his fighting career.
