MMA News-The Heavyweight Bout That Could Happen

Alex Marvez at foxsports.com has a piece up about the possible future match up of two of the biggest names in the MMA heavyweight division, Randy Couture and Fedor Emelianenko. He points to statements by Fedor after his quick victory this weekend that he wants to face Randy as well as a statement by Randy returning the sentiment. Randy is also under the assumption that a Texas court will finally return a verdict in his lawsuit with UFC sometime this week, though he seems realistic about the option of appeals on the loser's part. I know no matter who puts on the show, that is a fight I would love to see happen sometime this year and would give someone either incredible ratings or buy rates, especially if they had a good under card as well.
