Peace F— Mark Cuban….I hate that f–….fixXer is right couture would give fedor a run for his money cuz couture should be number 1 right now…jus for the fact that recently he has had more fights then fedor and twice he was the underdog and twice he whooped ass…fedor fought lindland last and it wasnt that great of a fight, sure he is a champion but hes dropped off..its randy's time right now and no one can take that away from him not even "nog" when they fight next year….as far for fedor wanting to fight in other organizations…why?  I dont understand why anyone would want to fight elsewhere when the ufc is the biggest stage in mma right now…even if cuban signed him wherever he went would not stand a chance at beating out the ufc at live gates or ppv sales.

I dont know about everyone else....I dont want it to be anything like boxing!  As far as Fedor fighting the best in the world, he has fought many of the best...I think he would lose to Couture.  There are a lot of Heavyweights that would give him a run for his money.  He is not invinsible.

Arona, Soko, lil nog, baby face..(all to name a few) who would all more than rough up a vast majority of the 'UFC top dogs'. But I agree 100%, I hope Cuban stays the f*** out of this and the UFC snaps out of it, bends a little for what he wants in his deal and signs Fedor.

Cuban and Dana just need to fight it out for the contract, haha.  Im not a big fan of either but I would love to see Cuban get his lil ass whooped.
