28% is just throwing a temper tantrum and breaking their toys because their mom won't buy them the new one they want.

um no, I stated my reason on why this fight shouldn't happen on Page 7, and still no one has touched it because they know it to be true. I will not support this fight or anything relating to this fight until the correct thing happens in MMA. The #1 ranked HW fighter should be fighting the next highest ranked fighter who he hasn't beaten twice (Babyface). If you let Fedor fight Couture before Barnett you make this sport everything people hate about boxing, where the fights that will sell the most happen instead of the fights between champions and #1 contenders.

Having Randy jump ahead of Barnett is just idiotic. Randy hasn't done what Barnett has done. Barnett fought Nog on a few weeks notice on NYE. He gave Nog a chance to avenge his loss, and Nog did. He didn't go about leaving Pride as soon as he found out he would have to fight Nog like Randy did with the UFC. Babyface will fight anyone, and is the only fighter left that Fedor hasn't faced with a real legitimate shot at beating Fedor. The fight with Randy is a farce and will not make it out of the first round. THis fight would be basically the equivalent of Fedor having to fight a Japanese hero instead of fighting a deserving contender.


Fedor fights Babyface, and then this fight can enter the realm of discussion.

if they all fought in the same org or if they were fighting for a title then your reason would be correct. the fact that its a superfight between the best fighter on the planet and a 45 year old legend means it has more value then barnett-fedor. they want people to watch this fight and if it were barnett-fedor id be surprised if it got as many ppv buys as bodogs 25k. they aren't fighting for a title and rankings are flawed anyways so why does it matter?

would be more interested if randy fights barnett or nog to really earn the shot at fedor

nog fought fedor before and is a legit #2 ranked hw behind him

barnett is the best fighter availible for fedor to fight, not to mention holding a previous win over him (randy)

I sorta lost hope for the fight.

Though I hope the legal stuff can end so we can see it happen, before Randy reaches 60.

I'm not really interested in seeing Fedor beat up an old man, Mark Coleman was more than enough for me.
