Almost everyone wants to see Emelianenko Vs Mir or Lesnar; Penn Vs Aoki, etc. Title unification is the way to wider public acceptance and credibility. All these lesser promotions, each trying to get a piece of the pie, do little to advance the sport..

Seriously people? Yeah PPV dollars, exposure etc. etc. But other than a puncher's chance, what can Brock do to Fedor? Have you guys not watched his fights cuz you only get UFC PPV? Watching Fedor fight hurts me through the TV. Picture Rampage vs. Wanderlei, just switch Rampage with Fedor and Wanderlei with Lesnar. FEDOR LIGHTS OUT, KO :21 seconds, round 1, give me my PPV money back. Fedor vs. Lesnar….. Seriously people?

Seriously? Randy will out maneuver Cro Cop, take him to the ground and G&P his face like Gonzaga did. White has always been interested in Fedor. This is not new news. The fact that they are talking again about business is good though. Cro Cop Vs Randy? Seriously? Randy will out maneuver Cro Cop, take him to the ground and G&P his face like Gonzaga did.

That's a big bargaining chip. Anyone who fights Lesnar gets a ridiculous level of exposure even if they lose (which translates into PPV % money). Fedor could really use that. And if he beats Lesnar, the casual fan will finally see Fedor for what he is. (Yes, I said IF. I can't count Lesnar out completely in this fight, especially if it's in a cage.) I think we'll see Fedor in the UFC this year. Now the UFC has something Fedor wants: Lesnar. That’s a big bargaining chip.

With the number of shows that UFC is putting on, this makes sense to get more headliners, and continue expanding the business on an international stage.
