I hate to give Sylvia a vote of no confidence but I don't seem him getting too far with Fedor.

I wish to hell that Fedor's manager and Dana White would get over their pissing contest so Fedor would fight in UFC. Granted, their heavyweight division is kind of weak right now and he has already beaten Nogueira twice I believe but that would be one step closer to Fedor vs. Couture.

as much as id love to see fedor in ufc, i like that he and his managment wont bend over to dana.
i dig that they were like this what we want, this is what we'll get.
oh, you wont do that, well fuck you, we will get it elsewhere.
and they have.

I see your point Badvibes and kind of agree, given I think Dana White is one of the worst things to happen to UFC. He did make it more mainstream but now we have the cocky fratboy type getting into it. I'm happy fighters are getting bigger purses but now I see dickheads with no real respect wearing UFC shirts and thinking they're tough. Then to cater to this, we get more fighters being pushed to shit talk in pre-fight interviews to build the fight. I also liked the idea of two fighters with mutual respect for the other going at it to see who is better but now we get everyone trying the shit Tito Ortiz was doing years ago.

Be that as it may, the last I heard about it, Couture will be tied up in legal shit with White for God knows how long and I can almost guarantee all of it would go away if Couture and Fedor fought in UFC. Since it's in civil court, it could be years before resolution and Couture is no spring chicken. He's all but ready to hang it up but wants to fight Fedor.

Dammit I miss Pride.

Sorry for the rant but White and those jackoffs from Tapout get my goat like you can't believe.
