Trash VentThe number one spot to vent!

Now that the dust has settled and UFC 91 is over. The number one Heavyweight in the world Fedor Emelianenko has come out openly and expressed and interest in fighting Brock Lesnar. The fight has been a suggested co-promoted fight has been offered between M-1, and Affliction Entertainment and the UFC. Zuffa has already turned down the offer.

The problem with signing Fedor to the UFC has always been disagreements over contracts and who’s ego was bigger.

“I think Lesnar fought a very smart fight,” Emelianenko told Sherdog.com on Tuesday. “It was very interesting to watch. I think one of his strengths was that — I was impressed by his speed in the fight. I think just from watching the fight, each fighter was waiting for the other one to make a mistake and I think Lesnar was very fortunate to have caught Randy and prevail.”

The apparent super fight between Randy and Fedor now looks like a thing of the past.

“To tell you the truth, I wasn’t entirely excited in fighting Randy. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for him. Getting in the ring with someone that, I myself, adore as a person and a fighter, I’m never as interested in getting in the ring with someone I have an emotional attachment to.”

“I would choose Lesnar, mainly for the reason I mentioned before,” said Emelianenko. “I’m very sympathetic to Randy. We hung out together. We got to know each other. I have a lot of warm feelings toward him. Based on that, if I had my choice without any outside forces involved, I would choose Lesnar.”

Feodr’s next match looks to be vs Andrei Arlovski at Affliction 2 “Day of Reckoning” on Jan. 24 in Anaheim, Calif. The event will be co-promoted by M-1.There is no telling if Emelianenko vs Lesnar will ever happen but there is always a possiblity.

After Saturday nights loss to behemoth Brock Lesnar. The Natural goes back to drawing board to re think about his career and future options. No one quite knows what to expect from Randy. He has achieved what most in the sport could only imagine and helped to launch a multi million dollar business from the ground up. He is a pioneer of the sport and a humble ambassador.

At 45 years old fans and media question if the once great legend still has enough in the tank to compete at the top tier of MMA. Well I am here to say that I am NOT one of those fans! Randy Couture has made a believer out of me. In the post fight interview he said ” I still feel like I am getting better” I believe it. Giving up over 60 Pounds in that fight and being able to control the clinch and scrmable back to his feet from the takedown, strongly suggests that this great champ still has what it takes.

Couture is the type of person who lives for the competition and losing only one fight of his last 3 is hardly a reason to contemplate retirement. This great champ still has 2-3 fights left in him. And one of which should be Fedor. Whatever your choose to do Randy I would just like to thank you for all the years of dedication to the sport and helping to bring the sport to where it is today.
