Comments on: Fact, Fiction, and Fedor (update) http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/03/09/fact-fiction-and-fedor/ Your Destination for Insider MMA News and Opinion Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:04:09 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Rauhski http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/03/09/fact-fiction-and-fedor/comment-page-1/#comment-19184 Rauhski Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:30:51 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/03/09/fact-fiction-and-fedor/#comment-19184 The real question here is... If the UFC can get a deal done with Fedor, will Randy come back to fight him? If Randy does want to come back and fight him, which is very unlikely at this point, does Nog has the first shot a Randy? How can the UFC give Fedor the title shot against Randy? I'm interested to here your opinions on this.

I just don’t see the UFC and Fedor’s team coming to an accord of any kind as a realistic possibility. In order for a deal between the UFC and Fedor’s management to happen, one side would have to cave in regards to their demands. I just don’t see how that will happen." Gotcha, obviously if relations are strained that much between the two then I guess it's a pipe dream. But for just one fight I would think the contract issues they had earlier would be irrelevant since Fedor would only be fighting once. That's what I was generally hoping for, just to get the Couture fight to happen. “Jeremy, theoretically, ANYTHING is possible.

I know that's probably only one of many sticking points but it would at least be a start. Seriously, if there was legitimate threat to Fedor in Sambo he'd already have been signed by a major organisation.

Pretty much. And don't be surprised if HBO signs on to televise their cards. “So, is the Golden Boy Promotions, err… promotion a definite then?”
