I would rather want to see this fight in an octagon than a roped ring. It sucks when the ref has to stop it and have the fighters reposition inside the ring. Hopefully Randy will get his contractual issues put to rest with the UFC soon. Would it not be interesting if UFC got these guys to fight in the cage.

The same Randy that got knocked out by Liddell in twice in less than 10 minutes? truth definitely lives up to his name. Wins over an injured Sylvia and an overhyped Gonzaga do not a challenger for Fedor make. “Nobody is going to embarass Randy.”

Kinda angers me.......I mean we are talking about Randy Couture! Nobody is going to embarass Randy. He is without a doubt one of the best fighhters of ALL time and he will be a tough fighht for anybody at any weight class.

I love Randy as an ambassador to the sport, but let's face it, he would get embarrassed by Fedor. In a ring, cage, or a circle of communist hating rednecks with pitchforks.

I will not post the site, I am just posting the text for anyone who cares..... Randy Couture and his legal representatives are planning to meet with top officials from the UFC early next week. The meetings hope to work out an amicable split, which will end the months of legal action by both sides. Although Dana White has been against working out a deal, it appears he has been overruled by top officials within Zuffa, UFC’s parent company. White has a tendency to make business personal and it seems Zuffa has finally stepped in to work the matter out. This rumor was originally thought to be garbage, but now we have semi secret meetings between them.....makes you kind of wonder if the end is really near......

Previous posts have referred to an ongoing arbitration under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association. Basically, the parties have agreed in one or both of their contracts to pursue the arbitration rather than going to court. An arbitration is perceived as quicker and less expensive than traditional trials, and usually is more private. An arbitration is not a settlement negotiation, which is sometimes in the form of a mediation. At the hearing the arbitrator(s) will hear the evidence and make a decision that will be binding on both sides. In other words, just like at trial, somebody will win and somebody will lose. As the arbitration hearing approaches, the parties may engage in formal or informal settlement negotiations, but that's by mutual agreement rather than because they have to do so. Unless there is an arbitration date that has been disclosed to the press, we really don't have any idea when the disputes will be resolved. An arbitration is an alternative to a trial.

I would rather see it take place in the Octagon but who know's? I just wonder if Randy would fight Fedor if he lost to anyone else by then? Would he consider a bout against Nogueira? Will Fedor vs. Minotauro 4 ever happen? Whoever book's any of these fight's is going to make a TON of money. These guy's are the best in the world. I hope to see some reslove here soon. There are a lot of issues to be agreed upon and I'd like to see it happen. One year is good enough time to make a deal for Couture vs. Emelianenko. Where, when and for who just need's to be decided. 1 year... I think we’ll see this fight happen within one year. I would rather see it take place in the Octagon but who know’s?

Maybe his movie acting is taking a little too much away from his training. Unfortunately, it's starting to look more & more like this fight will never happen which sucks.
