So Randy signed a long term contract based on the UFC "maybe" getting Fedor? If that's what his decision hinged on maybe he should have wait until Fedor was signed.

i hear ya geoff, but i feel that if rich franklin, knowing his record and commitment to the sport, wanted to bump up a weight class to fight the champ, he deserves it.

Ah ok - well I guess I see it differently - but I guess that's why the two of us aren't getting paid to make matches for the UFC

Um, no? Not everything you said was the truth. You said that you heard Fedor wanted more money than Dana was willing to pay... which ISN'T the reason why Fedor didn't sign with the UFC.

You also said you didn't think there'll be a Randy/Fedor fight anytime soon because Randy retired. Randy didn't retire because he beat Gonzaga. It had nothing to do with that. It came about because of the fact that the UFC didn't sign Fedor. He didn't retire from MMA, he resigned from being the UFC HW champ. BIG difference. I'm telling you Randy was in Japan at the M-1 Global event, and was interviewed ON THE BROADCAST saying he wanted to fight Fedor but couldn't do anything until his UFC contract expired.

So my 'do your research' comment still stands!

what does that pic mean?? is that a promo or is the fight going to happen??

[The Dark Wolf]

The pic means AWESOMENESS!


Actually, it's a promotional pic for Affliction athletic wear. But they're quite obviously capitalizing on the whole Fedor/Couture deal.


UFC totally dropped the ball with their cockblock/Don King tactics on this one. Fuckit. Do a one-fight non exclusive deal. Call it a superfight, or an exhibiion, whatever. They had much money to make on it.
