I think thats what UFC and Dana's driving at. These Wand Fights would make LUDICRIS amounts of money the more Wand keeps winning. I think its gonna go Wand vs Chuck then if he wins itll be Wand Vs. Tito for the title, and if he wins that, it'll be the Wand V. Couture in a "Unforgiven Old School" over the hill Gun slinger style hype around it. SMELL THE $$$$$$$$$$

He would be a contender if he came back I just think more losses would taint his legendary status even tho he is the first to do what he did

Maybe he should do a series of matches against fighters also considered legends. Big name fighters that a lot of the general public would recognize but aren't likely (never say never) to challenge for a title. Fighters like Royce, Ken, El Guapo, dare I say it... Tank?

Randy will come out of retirement when the UFC is convinced they've found their new "face". It will be a Randy vs. NEW GUY fight and the NEW GUY will destroy the rusty Randy thus making him an instant MMA pop icon. My guess.....Randy Couture vs John Cena in 2008.

NOW GIMME MY BELT!

How about the man in our avs?

Like he said if he's gonna come back then...

why not the Mt. Everest of challenges(right up his alley considering his personality, no)? They are linked in a way. Fedor's only "loss" hadn't come he would have faced Couture next in a rings tourney. While I doubt his chances greatly, it makes for great story sans the grudge apect of the fight and the fact that Randy's shocked the world twice (vs. Belfort1, vs. Chuck 1) Also,he should have a documentary film team follow him, kinda like ALi's "When we were Kings" -in Africa vs. Foreman.

what is with you all? your comparing him to shamrock. Do you realise when randy last fought? it was UFC 57, and funny enough it was chucks last fight as well (same with Babula last was ufc 57). Does that mean chuck is shit now? i know randy might not been trainning no where near as hard, but saying he like Ken shamrock is just an insult. He only retired about yr ago. Randy only lost to chuck who at top of field atm, not like he losing to worst fighter out there. Both times against chuck randy slipped up, that it. Chuck take down offence is best out there, and thats randy best attribute is his take down. So dont comparing randy and shamrock who only fough people who werent true marital artist at time, they didnt have expertise in all areas like everyone randy fough, which funny enough was ONLY YR AGO. SO dont even start compare him to shamrock he only lost against best in field atm. Hell he could even take on tito in my opion..

Couture could beat Sylvia, Sylvia's punching isn't as quick as liddell... and he could be taken down i believe by couture.

Bas vs couture, legends match... one of them has to kill the others dog though, it will make more money

"Bas Rutten accidentally ran over Couture's Dog... Couture is coming out of retirement for revenge... Watch Bas vs randy: Revenge . $49.95"
