It is no less exciting...both guys have to win...both guys have lost their last two fights...this one makes them a 3 in a row loser. If Couture finally get's a fight with Fedor in 20 years...I will be paying to see it.

Arlovski, Nogueria, Kongo, Cro Cop, Sylvia,Vera, Maybe Mir or Brock, Gonzaga should fight each other to determine a champ. This would be a great first round to watch. But only in my dreams. R.I.P Pride Bushido...... Pride had a great method and TUF copied it with sucess, a tournament for the title.

He just shouldnt of signed his contract. He made a deal, and as a man he should keep it!!!

Those two will fight someday. As for Fedor, he might as well carry a purse if all hes gonna do is dodge the best, because where he is going to fight, there ain't crap, he might as well go wrestle for vince mcmahon for the amount of respect his future fights are going to bring him.

It is not right to his fans that he takes off at the best moments in his ufc carrer. He has an obligation to defend the title and fight two more fights. The Fedor fight may never come around and the Gonzaga fight left me wanting more. I agree with oscar and want to see Randy keep his end of the deal and finish his contract.

Arlovski? Not even close to a dream match. That match is more of a day dream match. If Randy wants to enjoy his nice house and his wife, why did he come back? He was already retired, he should of enjoyed it then. He has an obligation to the UFC, his fans, and to the title. If he anyone wants to claim to be a champ then they should prove it. I love Randy and respect what he has done, he has inspired me to not give up, regardless of my age. I think its petty for him to be arguing about his contract now, if hes complaining now about it, why did he sign it then? Did he read it or just sign it? To me it sounds like hes avoiding dangerous fights in the UFC in order to keep his status and get a HUGE pay day with Fedor. If he loses, a fight with Fedor may not happen. Just like the fight with Chucky and Wandi, which would of been bigger and a main event had both of them been on top with their titles. Randy Vs Fedor? Randy hands down. Fedors great but hes not on Randys level. Randy Vs. Arlovski? Not even close to a dream match. That match is more of a day dream match.

Sure He loves to compete, but on the other end of those wins is the abuse his aging body is suffering without the needed respite and enjoyment of Life .....well take a long vacation Randy if any fighter has earned one it is you. I am 65 years old, and do not promote fights/fighters anymore, but I can tell you there is a reason for having a retirement life and that is so whatever is left of your skills and ability to defend yourself you might just need it somewhere down the long road to life after MMA competition, and all of the hoopla and the more recent winners as the Fight promoters leave you and your record in the dust in search for new talent. Why not go out shakin' the dust off your own shorts? Nuff said!
