Couture really surprised me. I didn't think he would beat Sylvia or Gonzaga. I think he has to fight Fedor now. I don't think you can count him out against Fedor now.
Fedor would destroy Randy. I hope Fedor doesnt get to the UFC while Randy holds the belt, it would be like when Drago fought Apollo Creed
Not so sure about that. Destroy?
Randy's has recently fought better opponents and in my opinion Fedor's last high quality win was against Cro Cop in 2005 (Hunt is ok.)
Do I think Fedor would win?
Probably - maybe- but destroy is a very strong word against a premeir elite fighter like Randy.
People keep doubting Randy.
Randy has developed into a supreme well rounded fighter. He also has that cold calmness before a fight that few have. Like Fedor.
My best bet says he fights Nog or Arlovski next. Assuming that Nog wins and AA comes out looking like he wants to win the fight. If he is passive in victory he can forget it.

I don't think the UFC could sell AA and Randy. AA lost 2 fights to Tim Sylvia who Randy crushed and now he has whooped Gonzaga who beat Mirko CC. Most people would think Randy would beat AA easy.
But there aren't many out there deserving of a le shot.
Nog is a for sure legit match if he wins again..
Vera makes no sense and is taken...
Tim is taken...
Cro Cop is 1-1 (UFC) but maybe makes sense if he redeems himself...
AA is a former champ who the fans love when he is aggressive and he needs another fight. Dana White already stated he would have been in contention had he not been so passive in his last 2 fights (although he won them)
Mir needs another 2 or 3 solid fights...
The options at HW aren't vast.
But this doesn't matter because as I was typing this I remembered Arlovski trains part time with Randy. lol
So I guess that just leaves Nog and Cro Cop. Nog would be fascinating.
And of course, Fedor is an instant deserving match up but his camp will want one non le fight to start things off. So lets say he signed today he probably wouldn't fight until October at the very earliest, then a le shot in March (Fedor has stated he wants more time off between fights for now on). Thats a long layoff for Randy and way too much speculation on my part. lol

Fedor has faught a much higher quality of opponents than Randy, and pretty much completley dominated them, maybe destroy was the wrong word, dominate would be better
Please don't take me as splitting hairs with your post by the way. Its just that this is a very interesting matchup.
But I almost think in this case Randy's recent resume is more important than the entire body of work. Fighters need to fight often.
Which is why I am "worried" about many of these PRIDE fighters who are collecting dust.
So with that said, with a tune up fight, Fedor very well may dominate but going in cold right now I give the nod to Randy.
Fedor is supposedly making dumb and crazy demands that is really holding things up. Randy has a 4 fight deal so he has 2 to go and he will likely be 45 by then. So by the time Fedor gets his act together and is in position for a le shot Randy may have decided he has had enough and walk away for good.
Fedor is a piece of
Crocop wants to fight Nog after he beats Kongo (maybe in Dec?). I figure the winner of that fight gets Randy in early 2008...
Arlovski isn't rumor'd or scheduled anywhere though...so who knows if they'll mix him in. He's in the doghouse though...
Based on what exactly?
Fedor is the best pfp fighter in the world
-Randy Couture, UFC HW Champion
Fedor is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world aside from bj Penn, those 2 are the best fighters in the world.
-Rampage Jackson, #1 contender for UFC LHW le.
It's FEDOR dude!
-Eric Pele
He is the BEST
-Mark Coleman, former UFC HW Champion and Pride GP Champion
the best in the world, no doubt
-Phil Baroni
Look, I’ve fought many people from around the world, so I’ve seen many strong fighters. But like him, never
-Renato Sobral
Fedor is on top now, it's hard to beat him now
-Pedro Rizzo
NOBODY wants to fight fedor
-Wanderlei Silva, former Pride MW Champion and GP winner
Our great champion, he is the BEST in the world.
-Josh Barnett, former UFC HW Champion and adcc Champion
Fedor has no equals in Sambo or MMA
-Aleksander Mikhailin, 3-time World Judo Champion and Fedor's former training partner
Fedor would be absolutely great in k1
-Ernesto Hoost, 4-time k1 World Champion
Fedor has no weakness! I have seen so many fights, and even the best fighters in the world have a flaw in their game but I have yet to find one in Fedor Emelianenko.
– Bas Rutten, former king of Pancrese and UFC HW Champion FSN
probably the best ever lived….he’s a living legend right now and I don’t think there’s a man on this planet who can beat him; the man is unreal. Pound for pound the best in the world

Fedor is my favorite

Fedor is the most incredible fighter you'll ever see

fedor is pound-for-pound best in the world
-Shamada (Pride referee)
Fedor is a machine
-Don Frye
The best fighter to climb into ANY areana is Emelianenko fedor. He is in his own league and you can't compare nobody.
-Kevin randleman, former UFC HW Champion
Fedor is just too dominant, too good at punching people in the face. The way he punches people man he's trying to kill people, with both hands. He's in a whole different class by himself.
-Brandon Vera
He is the best and undefeated... His striking game and his ground game is the best, so that's why he is the best... He is the sh*t
-Mark Hunt, k1 World Champion

Genetics has a lot to do with what your stomach looks like. You don't have to look like Sherk to be a great fighter...
He's in shape...I've never seen him gas before...
Like Leonard said, Fedor is in as good of shape as anybody. His physique proves that "in shape" doesn't necessarily match the traditional view. In shape (in mma) doesn't mean a 6-pack and huge biceps anymore. It's more about having strong core and the cardio and muscle endurance to perform at a high level for a long period of time.
Another example is Shogun. He isn't cut at all yet he performs at a physically elite level that few can match.
Translation: Who is the Fedor guy? I need to sound intellegent...
Google him or something before you say something. I really hope you were being sarcastic.
I guess I should have added draw to the poll....
Also (i.e) Liddell

Leonard still waiting on his answer?
Wow take CC off. New list...
Nog
Josh Barnett
Then retire with Fedor.
I dunno, if CC has lost his heart to fight Fedor exploding through him might be a good way to bring him in.
Assuming he is signed soon
They talked about Fedor all night. It's one of the first time ive ever heard him mentioned at a UFC event.
